Der Nonnenspiegel

Der Nonnenspiegel Original title: Storia di una monaca di clausuraWe write the Italian Era in the dark Middle Ages around 1632, and for political reasons the young Camelia is married shortly after her birth to the one-year-old Son of a friendly noble family. When she is 17 years old, she refuses to accept the marriage she wants and runs away with young Guiliano. The act takes place, but shortly afterwards her parents put her in a convent. There, strict customs prevail and Camelia is caught in the quandary of two matrons-in-waiting, who commit serious violations of the convent rules. This leads to sexual debauchery. When Camelia also becomes pregnant by her lover Guiliano, a time of torture begins for her, which she almost has to pay for with her life. The Inquisition takes action and ends the activities in the monastery.
