Threnody

Directed by Paul Barrie

Synopsis :

Father Engel is an old, sickly parish priest in a small village. Struggling with his faith, he is further troubled by his visits to a local girl who is suffering from an unexplained illness.

As he ponders her condition, a chance meeting on the village path reveals to him that the illness is being orchestrated by the Devil, who has taken the form of Lilith, his housekeeper, as a means to torment him. 

He musters all of his strength and returns to the parochial house for a deadly final confrontation with the Devil, risking his own life to save the soul of the child. 

Filmed in a variety of locations near Glasgow, Threnody is a dark theological drama created by students on the BA Digital Film and Television course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
