Synopsis
In the late 1950s, a group of nuns and 70 girls labeled as mentally disabled were relocated to the outskirts of Czechoslovakia. In isolation, they formed a female community shaped by daily labor. In a psychiatric institution, the nuns cared for the residents, while one of them captured their lives on 8mm film. These fragments now reveal the story of women pushed to the margins, opening up questions of women’s status, mental health, and the limits of institutional care.
