Description:
Catania, Sicily, 1854. A severe cholera outbreak plagues the region. Sixteen-year-old Maria, a novice, leaves her convent to return home and avoid infection. There, she faces a harsh reality: her stepmother and half-sisters deny her a normal teenage life, believing she is destined to be a nun. Meanwhile, her handsome neighbor Nino falls in love with Maria, and she reciprocates his feelings. However, upon her return to the convent, Maria is pressured to become a nun. She then understands Sister Agata's madness, realizing it stems from a lost and unattainable love mirroring her own with Nino.
