Although she feels trapped in a world she did not choose, her strong spirit and desire for freedom soon challenge the strict rules of the place. As Suzanne attempts to adapt to religious life, she faces the cruelty of the abbess, who sees her arrival as an opportunity to cement her power.
Life in the convent is not what it seemed: between the oppression of the nuns and the numerous trials she faces, Suzanne begins to question her faith and the true meaning of monastic life. Torn between her desire to follow God and her yearning for freedom, she struggles against the repressed desires of her nature and the dark realities of the institution. Tensions escalate when Suzanne uncovers disturbing secrets about life in the convent, leading her to make a heart-wrenching decision.
As she grapples with duty and desire, she encounters other characters that reflect her own internal conflicts, including a sister who yearns for a life outside the convent. In this unsettling drama, the audience accompanies Suzanne on her journey to find her identity and freedom, confronting the powers and constraints that seek to crush her, and leaving a powerful message about the struggle for personal autonomy in an oppressive world.
