The Little Hours
“Obedientia. Paupertas.”
Comedy
Garfagnana, Italy, 1347. The handsome servant Masseto, fleeing from his vindictive master, takes shelter in a nunnery where three young nuns, Sister Alessandra, Sister Ginevra and Sister Fernanda, try unsuccessfully to find out what their purpose in life is, a conundrum that each of them faces in different ways.
VIBE
This is a delightfully anachronistic and bawdy medieval romp. It feels like a quirky, irreverent peek into the chaotic inner lives of frustrated nuns, blending deadpan humor with a sun-drenched Italian setting. Expect a lighthearted, absurd take on human desires and spiritual questioning, perfect for a relaxed, giggly watch.
