🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a compelling drama from historical records, exploring the psychology of a woman trapped between personal yearning and rigid religious doctrine.
What lingers after viewing is a chilling sense of institutional power and a meditation on the price of autonomy. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Eriprando Visconti
