Romi’s journey home to Romania begins with his parents, who are unwilling to explain why they had him exorcized when he was 18. During his visit, the death of a young Romanian nun shocks the country. As Romi travels through the Transylvanian countryside, looking for answers, he explores more of his own background, the truth behind the nun’s death, and the stories of Father Pintea, seen by many as a spiritual leader, healer, and exorcist. Romi witnesses the weekly exorcism performed with a crowded congregation to rid them of their bad spirits. This beautiful and poetic film follows Romi’s journey of self-awareness that is both touching and humorous.
