Spoilers ahead

In 1972, two priests were summoned to document a peculiar event in Jerusalem. It was disclosed that a collaboration of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian priests had been gathered to perform an exorcism on a woman who was believed to have died three days prior. Her son recounts how she initially appeared calm but later became violent, harming her husband in the process. After numerous failed attempts to heal her, the priests reach a harrowing decision—to take her life. In a desperate climactic moment, the woman screams and sprouts leather wings just as a priest fatally shoots her with a derringer.
