SYNOPSIS:
In the late 15th century, with plague ravaging the land, Benedetta Carlini joins the convent in Pescia, Tuscany, as a novice. Capable from an early age of performing miracles, Benedetta’s impact on life in the community is immediate and momentous. Benedetta takes in a young woman to her convent, and the two begin a passionate affair.
Benedetta is based on the 1986 book "Immodest Acts: The Life Of A Lesbian Nun In Renaissance Italy" by Judith C. Brown, which in turn was based on a true story.
