When Avril is given the chance to explore the world outside her convent before taking her vows, she immediately accepts, mostly because she wants to meet her fraternal brother with whom she was separated at birth. An attractive, friendly man offers to give Avril a lift, and the pair eventually come across her brother, and his boyfriend. The unlikely foursome form a tight bond during a secular vacation by the beach, realizing that God works in mysterious ways.

| "Sophie Quinton dazzles as the naïve Avril and the film has a tender confidence in exploring the emotions of someone learning to love. Quietly magical, 'Avril' is a low-key wonder" DVD Review |
