Carmela, a young aristocrat, refuses an arranged marriage and is sent to a convent. Her arrival sparks tension between two powerful nuns: Elizabeth, who maintains a decadent lifestyle with her influential family's support and harbors sapphic desires for Carmela; and the stern Mother Superior, who also takes a liking to Carmela's beauty. The power struggle intensifies as both women vie for Carmela's affections.
Storia di una monaca di clausura is a 1973 film by Domenico Paolella that explores themes of power, desire, and rebellion within the confines of a convent. The movie is notable for being one of the earliest examples of 'nunsploitation' cinema, a genre that combines elements of exploitation films with religious settings. Though it has been widely imitated, many consider this film to be the artistic peak of the genre.
