A film that goes where no other has dared.

HorrorDrama

Anne and Lore, neighbors and best friends, barely into their teens, board at a convent school where they have taken a vow to sin and to serve Satan. Anne keeps a secret diary, they read a salacious novel, they get a classmate in trouble, they spy on the nuns, they set aside their communion wafers; they make a pact of devotion.

VIBE

A disturbing, dreamlike descent into youthful transgression. It feels like a fever dream of forbidden desires and corrupted innocence, set against a backdrop of stifling religious dogma. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of impending doom and unsettling sensuality.
