Synopsis

Written and directed by Timothy Disney (related to the renowned Walt Disney) A QUESTION OF FAITH is his feature debut and is the story about a reclusive order of monks at a monastery, which is situated in the heart of California's wine country, who have mostly managed to keep themselves away from the intrusion of the outside world.

However, the once ordered society the monks are accustomed to changes dramatically, when one of the monks Anselm, sees the angel Gabriel. His fellow brethren doubt this revelation and instead Father Frederick suspects that Anselm is trying to cover up a homosexual dalliance. He confines Anselm to a locked cell to reflect and pray for guidance. His prayers are answered with a miracle: Anselm turns into a woman and finds that he is pregnant!
