Thunder (French: Foudre) is a 2022 Swiss drama film written and directed by Carmen Jaquier.[1] The film stars Lilith Grasmug as Elisabeth, a young woman who has spent several years in a convent school preparing to take vocation as a nun, but finds that her desires have changed when she returns home following the death of her older sister.[1]
Jaquier has described the film as inspired by the discovery of old notebooks belonging to her great-grandmother, which revealed details about her daily life and her relationship to God.[1]
The film premiered in the Platform Prize program at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival on 10 September 2022,[2] and will be screened in the New Directors lineup at the 70th San Sebastián International Film Festival.[3]
