"In eighteenth-century France a girl (Suzanne Simonin) is forced against her will to take vows as a nun. Three mothers superior (Madame de Moni, Sister Sainte-Christine, and Madame de Chelles) treat her in radically different ways, ranging from maternal concern, to sadistic persecution, to lesbian desire. Suzanne's virtue brings disaster to everyone in this faithful adaptation of a bitter attack on religious abuses by the Enlightenment philosopher Denis Didero."
"Adaptation of Diderot's classic 18th century novel explores with poetic simplicity the moving tale of a 16 year old girl who is forced by her mother to enter a convent."
"Les deux soeurs de Suzanne Simonin ont été richement dotées. Leur père n'ayant pas les moyens d'en faire autant pour Suzanne, celle-ci devra entrer au couvent. Suzanne refuse de prononcer ses voeux : elle est placée malgré tout au couvent de Longchamp que dirige Mme de Moni."
