Synopsis:

Vic Mathews (Tom Conti) loves two things in life, teaching the remedial class at Glasgow's Blessed Edith Semple School and beautiful colleague Ruth Chancellor (Helen Mirren). When the school authorities decide to pursue full canonisation of their namesake, little miracles begin to occur and Vic has to reassess his beliefs. Reunited in The Tempest, Conti and Mirren, first created an electrical storm in Scottish writer/director Charles Gormley's charming and quirky comic drama. Featuring an exclusive score by Scottish composer BA Robertson and containing Ewen Bremner's first screen appearance as little Stevie Deans, Heavenly Pursuits is a wee revelation.

Vic Mathews teaches a remedial class at the Blessed Edith Semple School in Scotland. Some at the school are trying to discover the two more miracles that would promote the late Edith Semple to sainthood; Mathews, a non-believer, wishes the school would concentrate on teaching the children. He becomes confused, however, when he is involved in possibly miraculous events himself!
