Handlung
Der folgende Text ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
The story follows three young Irish women - Margaret, Bernadette, and Rose - who become inmates at a Magdalene Sisters Asylum in Ireland during the 1960s. The asylum is run by cruel nuns who physically, sexually, and psychologically abuse the women, forcing them to work long hours in the laundry without pay. Margaret arrives first after being deemed 'wayward' for becoming pregnant outside of marriage. Bernadette enters later due to her rebellious nature, and Rose follows after she is seduced by a priest. Throughout their ordeal, the three women maintain their spirits despite the dehumanizing abuse they endure.

Peter Mullan's 'Magdalene Sisters' (2002) is a drama film based on true events set in Ireland during the 1960s. The movie focuses on the lives of young women who were sent to Magdalene Laundries, institutions run by Catholic nuns where they were subjected to forced labor and abuse. The film aims to shed light on the historical mistreatment of women in these convent schools and Magdalene asylums, highlighting themes of human rights violations, sexual harassment, physical and psychological torture, and the suppression of women's rights. Despite the grim subject matter, 'Magdalene Sisters' has been praised for its powerful storytelling and the performances of its lead actresses.
