Poland, December 1945: Young French doctor Mathilde (Lou de Laâge) is treating the last of the French survivors of the German camps, when a panicked Benedictine nun shows up at the clinic, begging her to rush to the convent. What Mathilde discovers are a holy sister about to give birth and several more in advanced stages of pregnancy, the results of rape months before by Soviet soldiers. A non-believer, Mathilde copes with the nuns’ fear of exposure and their formidable Reverend Mother (Agata Kulesza from Ida), as their beliefs and traditions clash with harsh reality. Based on true events, this touching story shows how humanity can illuminate hope in our darkest hours. In French and Polish with English subtitles. Director: Anne Fontaine. (France/Poland 2016) 115 min.
