Why watch this film?
Poland, December 1945: World War II is finally over and Red Cross nurse Mathilde is treating the last of the French survivors of the German camps. When a panicked nun appears at the clinic begging Mathilde to follow her back to the convent, the scene she finds is shocking: a holy sister about to give birth, with several more in advanced stages of pregnancy.
"War brings its horror to everyone. In this case, it was for a group of Polish nuns that were raped by Nazi officers. The movie tackles this case - based on true events - with a cold, sad atmosphere, yet still filled with faith. A story that makes us think not only about those times, but also about the present."
