A handsome young rake takes sanctuary in a 17th-century convent, causing much disquiet among the nuns. Maybe the community's resident chaplain, Father Hardy Krüger, can help. Then again, maybe not. Imagine a world where a woman can be raped and then blamed for the assault, tortured by the Inquisition, and finally walled up in a prison cell to die for her sins. Those were the days.
