Sister Death

In 1939 Spain, a girl is revered by townfolks. Ten years later, novice Narcisa is welcomed by sister Julia into a convent refitted for teaching young girls. After coming across a marble, Narcisa is introduced by sister Julia to the Mother Superior, who is joyful to meet the holy girl from the news who inspired the entire community. Julia and the Mother Superior are among the few sisters in the community still remaining from before the war. Mother Superior also tells Narcisa that she is about to start lecturing on language, literature, and natural sciences in replacement of Sister Inés, and also to take vows, to Narcisa's shock.
