Originally titled "Secrets in the House of Myrhh", African American nuns in a convent balance a life filled with trials, tribulations and devotions to God and the church until one nun's beliefs are compromised when a wounded soldier arrives on their door steps. Filmed at the Adler manor in upstate New York the architecture was grand to house the nuns, but the design was simple and clean. Production design highlights included props, decoration, and dressing a manor for 18 nuns. African American statues/pictures of saints and icons. The palette of the manor was warm with wood tones with the exception coldness of the meditative room and the bathroom that were filmed during the day.
