Synopsis

Philippa Talbot is a London businesswoman who leaves her career and position to become a nun. Her decision deeply affects the man who loves her. Upon arriving at Brede, a cloistered Benedictine monastery, Philippa discovers that the abbess who encouraged her to pursue this vocation has died. Her successor is Catherine, a compassionate leader who tells the new nun that all members of the community are to love without favoring one person over another. This principle becomes challenging when Joanna, a young nun, becomes emotionally attached to Sister Philippa.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 17

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
