Plot: (from IMDb)
The plot revolves around the campaign to choose a new Mother Superior for the Convent of St. Archangel. One Machiavellian sister (Anne Heywood) tries to get the edge on her two rivals, who have more wealthy and influential family connections on the outside, by slowly poisoning one and arranging for the other (Martine Brochard) to be caught with her male lover (which she easily manages since this bisexual nun is also HER lesbian lover).
She also forms an alliance with an unscrupulous nobleman by promising to deliver her virginal niece to him. All of these machinations eventually bring down the corrupt, patriarchal church authorities on the convent.
