Synopsis
In May 1789, two young women enter a Carmelite convent in the town of Compiègne, France.  One of the girls, Sister Constance,  is a happy soul who willingly offers herself up to the austere life of the community.  The other, Sister Blanche, is fearful and obsessed with death.  Not long after the revolution begins, Sister Blanche’s brother, an aristocrat, seeks refuge in the convent.  When the republican police discover this, the two novice sisters are pursued and ultimately brought to trial...
