In an unknown country in an unknown war, a young soldier has deserted the army in fear of his life and his sanity. Disguised in strange face paint and women's clothes he is eventually taken in by a band of travelling gypsies. But due to his strange attire they believe he is The Rawney, a strange, mad and magical old woman of legend who can perform magic, control animals and bring good luck. But strange forces are conspiring and it will take more than faith to survive them. (StudioCanal UK)
