Francine Bergé

In eighteenth-century France, a girl is forced against her will to take vows as a nun. Three mothers superior treat her in radically different ways, ranging from maternal concern, to sadistic persecution, to lesbian desire.

The tables turn on an art dealer (Golden Globe nominee Alain Delon, The Leopard) who takes advantage of those persecuted by the Nazis in this Cannes Grand Jury Prize-nominated WWII-set drama helmed by Joseph Losey (The Servant).
