A dark, psychologically complex study of institutional coercion and desire set within the confines of a convent, where a young woman's forced vows become a crucible for examining power, faith, and forbidden longing.

In eighteenth-century France, a girl is forced against her will to take vows as a nun. Three mothers superior treat her in radically different ways, ranging from maternal concern, to sadistic persecution, to lesbian desire.
