Description
High in the Himalayas, a mountaintop palace shines like a jewel. Once home to laughter and music, it now sits abandoned, windswept and haunting. The Sisters of Mary are given the palace, and what was once 'the House of Women' becomes the Convent of St Faith. As they work to establish their school and hospital, passions long repressed begin to emerge with tragic consequences. The isolation and emptiness of the mountain take their toll on the nuns, leading to a descent into darkness and despair. A story of tragedy and redemption unfolds in this haunting tale of a place where spirituality and human nature collide. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas, Black Narcissus is a powerful exploration of the human condition.
