In a provocative and symbolic style, the story follows a young nun who, after her father’s death, returns to the family mansion to fulfill his last wishes. Upon her arrival, she confronts a dark past and a worn-out environment where secrets and decay intertwine. Her presence sparks the curiosity and skepticism of the house's inhabitants: a group of petty relatives and an enigmatic servant who oscillate between comedy and drama.

Driven by her faith and goodness, the nun decides to turn the property into a refuge for the poor, which leads to a clash between her idealism and the harsh reality of those she shelters. Throughout the plot, themes of religion, ethics, and social hypocrisy are explored as tensions rise among the characters and their selfish roots.

As the nun attempts to redeem her tenants and herself, the situation becomes increasingly unsettling, revealing the fragility of the boundaries between salvation and damnation. The film culminates in a series of unexpected events that provoke reflection on sacrifice, morality, and the meaning of the divine in a world that seems to have lost everything. With a heartbreaking ending, the story lingers with the viewer, open to interpretation and analysis, leaving a profound mark on the cinematic imagination.
