starring Myriem Roussel · Alessandro Gassman · Alina De Simone · Renato De Carmine

This is a serious attempt to tell the true story of the legendary scandal at the Monza Convent in the early 16th Century. While the movie isn't as sleazy as Bruno Mattei's earlier TRUE STORY OF THE NUN OF MONZA, this one - complimented by the cinematography of Dario Argento's collaborator Romano Albani and the music by maestro Pino Donaggio - is a classic in the nunspoitation field, perhaps even better than most anything else in that genre.

The film is set inside a convent seemingly filled with sexually repressed young nuns who have become obsessed with Giampaolo Osio, handsome young nobleman who lives next door. Giampaolo is a lecherous womanizer. He hates Sister Virginia because she originally came from a rich family that owned most of the land around Monza, including his own property. In a show of force, Giampaolo concocts a plan with corrupt priest Don Arrigone to assault and rape Sister Virginia. She ends up pregnant but continues the disreputable affair with Osio, leading to chaos and eventually murder in the convent.
