The Spire

Dean Jocelin, driven by a profound spiritual vision, embarks on the construction of an impossibly tall spire for his medieval cathedral. Despite warnings from his master builder about the lack of foundations, Jocelin's obsession transforms into a defiant act of faith, pushing architectural limits and straining the very structure of the ancient building. As the spire ascends, its demanding creation unravels not only the physical world around it but also the psychological landscape of its creator and those involved.
