Plot

An innocent nun full of the milk of human kindness is shown the other (realistic?) side of life when she goes on a visit to her uncle. Her altruism is greeted with cruelty and ridicule. A legendary film containing a black parody of the last supper set to Handel's 'Messiah'. Banned by the Vatican.
