CLARA, 40, is said to have a special connection to God. As a healer, she supports her family and the whole village in need of hope, while finding comfort in her relationship with the natural and supernatural world in nature. After years of being controlled by her mother's repressive care, Clara's sexual desire is awakened by the attraction of her niece's new boyfriend. This newly awakened power leads Clara into uncharted territory and makes her cross boundaries, both physical and mystical. Strengthened by her self-awareness, Clara gradually frees herself from her role as a saint and begins to heal herself.
