Film Synopsis
A young novice nun visits her uncle before taking her final vows, only to be drawn into a web of manipulation, disillusionment, and moral ambiguity. After inheriting his estate, she attempts to live a life of charity by sheltering beggars. Her idealism unravels as chaos and hypocrisy consume her efforts, leaving her faith and identity in doubt.
