Synopsis:
Walerian Borowczyk keeps faith with his highly erotic and colourful visual style inithis highly charged convent romp. The myth of a convent as a serene and reverent haveniis completely blowniout of the water as Borowczyk takes the viewer through aniamazing repertoire of sexual behaviour. A Mother Superior desperately tries to prevent her charges from experiencing the sins of the flesh with little success and eventually the church has to exact cruel punishment for the nun's outrageous behaviour. As with many of Borowczyk's films the climax is dark and explosively dramatic leaving the viewer with images that linger and the need to questionithe nature of morality and eroticism.

Spoiler Alert

Overdubbed and very hard to hear. 

No subtitles.

It shouldn’t pass the acceptable procedure to rent out. Had to give up
