Overview
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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic descent into institutional abuse and religious corruption, where the authority figures meant to guide and protect instead exploit and cover up tragedy. This is cinema examining the dark underbelly of organized religion with unflinching severity.
