Film Synopsis
In 18th century France, 16-year-old Suzanne is forced against her will by her family to enter a convent. Here, she is confronted with a world that she finds hard to adapt to, inhabited by nuns who are either cruel or a little too attentive. Suzanne's inner force allows her to hold out against the crushing barbarism of convent life. She is determined that, one day, she will regain her freedom...© James Travers
