On the surface the women at the convent are your average nuns. However, what they get up to in their spare time is far from what you'd expect from nuns.

VIBE

This film feels like a suffocating descent into religious fervor and hidden sins. It's a chilling, claustrophobic look at repression within convent walls, where piety masks a sinister undercurrent of scandal and despair.
