The fate of a remote secluded monastery in Romania changes when Alina came there to see her old colleague in orphanage, Voichita who is now a nun there. The religious activities of these nuns are headed by a priest. Alina cant cop with the situations and gradually her voice is rising there. She gets transfigured as an enemy in the eyes of the puritans.
The movie don't have a language of a blasphemous film. But it shows us the activities of a secluded society that still lives in the chains and the shadows of its past leaders. All are prisoners here, the leader is just an illusion. The priest and followers are clamorous about sins in the holy books and scriptures, but they are unaware of sins in reality. Even they are treating a rebel by old methods. Movie is directed by Cristain Mungiu and has bagged Best screenplay and Best Actress in Cannes 2012.
