Synopsis

Images of Black Narcissus (Powell-Pressburger, 1947) in black and white seen though a TV –submitted to reframing, related by a voice that has fun, underlines, and summarizes the original version–, are being watched by one of the actresses in the film, who will enter a game of crossings and attraction to a nun in the street. Different voices participate in this essay on the connections between desire and religion: stories of lesbians in their teens or real statements against Sister Carlini (1591-1661), investigated and arrested for having been engaged in lesbian relations with another nun.
