“Deceitful Above All Things” immerses us in blood and lust via the tumultuous arrival in New France of two young women: one pursuing an illicit love affair with a priest, the other determined to escape the tyranny of childbearing. Both will challenge the conventions of their time and forge the most unlikely of friendships against a backdrop of simmering colonial tensions, and the violence of love itself.
