About

A zealous, handsome priest, who is the confessor for a convent full of women, encourages the equally zealous abbess of the institution to enforce strict rules on these unfortunate women. At the same time, a particularly disturbed nun manages to poison herself and many of the other novitiates in yet another scandal which is covered up by church authorities.
Heavy with claustrophobic tension and religious fervor, this period drama captures the stifling atmosphere of a strict convent under pressure. A charismatic priest pushes disciplinary boundaries until a series of poisoning scandals shatters the institution's fragile peace.
