Habit is a 2017 comedy-drama film directed by Simeon Halligan and stars Jessica Barden as the rebellious and streetwise character, "London". London is a young woman who lives fast and loose, turning to parties and drugs to escape her tumultuous family life. When she meets a charming drug dealer named Michael (played by William Ash), she is drawn into a dangerous world of violence and drugs.
After a drug deal goes wrong, London finds herself in deep trouble. As a last resort, she disguises herself as a nun and seeks refuge at a convent. There, she is taken under the wing of the friendly caretaker, Sister Katherine (played by Audrey Haley), and begins to find a sense of peace and purpose despite her wild past.
However, her new life is not as easy as she thought it would be - especially when the convent is threatened with closure. London must navigate her way through her feelings for Michael, her newfound religious community, and her own inner demons. As the deadline for the convent's closure looms, London must decide whether to reveal her true identity and face the consequences of her actions or to continue living a lie.
Overall, Habit is a darkly comedic and thought-provoking film about redemption, identity, and the power of community. Through the character of London, the film explores the complexities of addiction and the ways in which we can find hope and renewal in unexpected places.
