The Nun

Century XVIII. Suzanne (Pauline Etienne), 16, is sent by her family to a convent where she will have to live as a novice, though this has nothing to do with her true vocation: music.

Although the dream of Suzanne is to live her live free outside the confines of her new home, she ends pronouncing her vows when she discover that is an illegitimate daughter.

So she begin her life as a nun finding solace only in the Mother Superior, who died soon after, leaving Sister Christine (Louise Bourgoin) as successor, a sister whose sole purpose is to make Suzanne's life miserable.

Guillaume Nicloux writes and directs this adaptation of Denis Diderot 's novel in which also stars Isabelle Huppert and Martina Gedeck.
