Agia Emi
Plots(1)
This film follows two Filipino sisters who have settled in Athens, focusing on one of them: Emy, who has the gift of healing. When she goes to work for a rich lady who employed her mother, she is faced with the dilemma: whether to use her powers for good or evil. Emy knows, since her adolescence, how others see her, as her extraordinary condition makes her appear as a witch to the other Filipino women, and as someone to be exploited in the eyes of the Greeks she works for.

Holy Emy is an interestingly and atmospherically directed drama with powerful moments that seems as if it is afraid of its own screenplay or simply doesn’t do know where to go with its numerous ideas. With its mystical dimension and unpredictable plot development, the film had tremendous potential and could have been a festival hit. Even so, it’s a nicely engaging and distinctive experience.
