Plot synopsis
Rosa, Yulia, and Sonya are students at the St. Demetrius School of Sisters of Mercy. Along with their medical students, the girls attend services and charity classes, becoming immersed in conservative Orthodox life. Balancing the lives of a secular teenager and an Orthodox school student can be challenging. Rosa falls in love with an atheist rock guitarist, Yulia copes with her divorce from a priest's son, and Sonya has to live up to her parents' expectations. Easter is coming soon. What is sinful, what is righteous, and what is love—we'll have to figure this out. Unfortunately, sometimes only death helps separate black from white.
