This three part serial goes for a gothic take as opposed to the repressed passions in the famous Powell & Pressburger movie. Gemma Arterton is Sister Clodagh. An idealistic sister superior tasked to establish a school and clinic at the Palace of Mopu in the Himalayas. The handsome Mr Dean who is the handyman causes a stir particularly with Sister Ruth who starts to become hysterical as time goes on. She is also resentful of Sister Clodagh.
