Krankenschwester Maud hat nach einer traumatischen Erfahrung zu Gott gefunden. Ihre Frömmigkeit reibt sich bald an den hedonistischen Exerzitien der unheilbar an Krebs erkrankten Modern-Dance-Legende Amanda, die sie in deren Villa an der englischen Küste pflegt. Mauds religiöse Visionen (oder Wahnvorstellungen) werden intensiver, ihre Anbindung an die Wirklichkeit poröser: Besessen davon, Amandas Seele zu retten, geht sie bis zum Äußersten. Rose Glass’ Langfilmdebüt ist ein beeindruckend inszeniertes Stück Psychohorror mit zwei außergewöhnlichen Hauptdarstellerinnen im Zentrum. Abgründig!
