Rapture

Synopsis

At a Catholic Confirmation camp, 16-year-old Orla‘s burgeoning sexuality sees her caught between the Madonna-Whore dichotomy, until a chance encounter with an anarchic 16th Century Saint helps her to see the light. A taboo-busting comedy-drama about slut-shaming, Catholic guilt and female pleasure.
