Tom Conti and Helen Mirren star in Scottish writer/director Charles Gormleys (Long Shot) charming and quirky comic drama. Vic Mathews (Conti) and Ruth Chancellor (Mirren) are teachers at Glasgows Blessed Edith Semple School. When the school authorities decide to pursue full canonization of their namesake, little miracles begin to occur and Vic has to reassess his beliefs. Featuring top drawer performances from Conti and Mirren, Heavenly Pursuits also contains Ewen Bremners first ever screen appearance and a score by Scottish pop star turned composer BA Robertson. This slice of 1980s Scottish cinema is sure to appeal to fans of Bill Forsyths Gregorys Girl and Local Hero.
