Three Hail Marys
Father Eamon lives an average life in a tiny Irish village. His relationship with God is strained after years of clerical duties and endlessly tiresome confessions. Until newcomer, Marla appears, claiming to have spoken directly to God. Intrigued by her sudden appearance, Father Eamon confides in her about his struggle to communicate with the divine, but her attempts to connect Eamon with the God become complicated once she reveals her methods. Incompetence, blasphemy and temptation; Three Hail Marys is the story of a priest desperate for connection and purpose whilst trapped in a sinful little village.
