Plot:
France, 1760. In exchange for a boarding fee, the spiteful aristocratic mother of the unwilling 16-year-old nun-to-be, Marie-Suzanne Simonin, shuts her up in a convent. As a result, forced into taking her vows, innocent Marie-Suzanne resigns herself to her fate and promises poverty, chastity, and obedience to God. However, Marie-Suzanne does not have a clear vocation. And, as the inexperienced novice joins the ascetic order, the absence of a calling, paired with impure sisterly affection, is a recipe for disaster. Can there be redemption for Marie-Suzanne, the reluctant nun?
