Panos Karnezis

Opis

The 16th century convent of Our Lady of Mercy stands alone in an uninhabited part of the Spanish sierra. Its inhabitants are devoted to God, to solitude & silence; six women cut off from the world they've chosen to leave behind. This all changes the day that Mother Superior Maria Ines discovers a suitcase at the entrance to the retreat."
