When an aspiring nun's former lesbian lover shows up at her convent she struggles to keep control of the situation. Her former girlfriend is still deeply in love with her and cannot accept the fact that she has given her life to God. Her emotional and sometimes violent outbursts upset the usual tranquil life at the remote Romanian convent. The other nun's attribute her behavior to something more sinister, leading to a bizarre confrontation and tragedy. A plot holding much promise instead proceeds at a snail's pace under the direction of Mungiu and lands with a giant thud. It has its moments, if you can stay awake for them.
