Black Narcissus trailer promises paradise, perversion, sanctuary and sin

September 21, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

The BBC and FX has released the first trailer and a poster for their limited series Black Narcissus. Based on Rumer Godden’s 1939 novel of the same name, the drama follows a group of young nuns as they face the challenges of turning a remote and haunting palace in the Himalayas into a convent; take a look here…

“During the latter years of British rule in India, ambitious young nun Sister Clodagh heads a mission to a remote part of the Himalayas. The palace of Mopu has been donated by General Toda Rai, who hopes the Sisters of St. Faith will rid the ‘House of Women’ of unhappy memories connected to his late sister, Srimati. Although Clodagh ignores the warnings of the General’s raffish agent Mr. Dean, isolation and illness soon take their toll, with the haunting atmosphere of the palace particularly affecting volatile Sister Ruth. As past and present collide, the arrival of the young General Dilip Rai is the catalyst for an explosion of repressed desires that may end in a fatal confrontation.”
