Summary
Amen (2023), directed by Andrea Baroni, is a gripping drama set in an isolated Italian countryside cottage inhabited by an extremely religious Christian family. The story focuses on three sisters, Sara, Ester, and Miriam, who have never left the property due to their strict adherence to biblical teachings and the authoritarian rule of their grandmother Paolina.
