THE NUN

by Guillaume Nicloux

synopsis

The rebellion and tragic fate of Suzanne Simonin, a charming young woman from a bourgeois family who is cloistered away in a convent against her will after discovering she is an illegitimate child. She receives some comfort from the Mother Superior, but the latter dies and is replaced by a sadistic woman who never stops bullying Suzanne.
