Anchoress

Enter the medieval world of Christine Carpenter, a 14th century visionary girl whose passions attract the village priest and an officer, the two most powerful men in the village. When the priest urges her to become an Anchoress (a walled-in recluse), she accepts; but when her awakening sexuality calls into question this lifelong arrangement, she challenges the priest's authority, and the order of society, its government, religion, and sexual relations are all thrown into turmoil.
