Overview
Disgraced poet Ted Wallace is summoned to his friend's country manor to investigate a series of unexplained miracles.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp, cynical comedy that uses supernatural miracles at a country estate as a vehicle for exploring faith, fraud, and the messy desires lurking beneath polite society. It's acerbic and arch, mining humor from the gap between what people claim to believe and what they actually want.
