The Beast Within
5.9
A contemporary offbeat portrayal of a mixed lot of provincial people before during and after a baptism, a funeral and a wedding ceremony. At the centre of theses events is a woman with unfulfilled ambitions, a questioning rebel of a boy and an unconventional minister. Although seen through the eyes of a boy, this is a film for adults, about adults.
