The Nun and the Devil (1973)

In the foreboding Kingdom of Naples, 1577, terror grips the populace as the Roman Inquisition and witch hunts run rampant, sanctioning torture as a norm in trials. Amid the chaos, the handsome Spanish nobleman, Don Carlos, finds a twisted delight within the walls of the Sant'Arcangelo di Baiano convent. There, he indulges his desires with the ambitious Sister Giulia di Mondragone, a formidable ecclesiastical figure yearning for the position of the convent's abbess. Recognizing Don Carlos' influential power, Giulia seeks to appease him, even as she navigates her own complex labyrinth of love, longing for her beloved Sister Chiara's companionship. Meanwhile, Sister Carmela, eyeing the same coveted title of abbess, orchestrates a sinister plot against Giulia. As the current abbess, Sister Lavina's health dwindles, Giulia and Carmela descend into a ruthless power struggle, employing poison, deceit, false accusations, and even yielding to their illicit desires to win favor. From the shadows, Sister Carmela mirrors Giulia's tactics, revealing her own dark side. The once tranquil convent spirals into a den of scandal with a trail of deaths, threats, beatings, and anonymous letters to high ecclesiastical authorities, igniting a scandalous trial. Vicar Carafa, representative of the Inquisition dispatched by the Archbishop of Naples, is tasked with confronting the tumultuous storm, resulting in a brutal inquisition where the sisters are tortured and forced to confess. In "The Nun and the Devil", a world of faith is transformed into a battlefield of ambition, lust, and betrayal, challenging the sisters to navigate the blurred lines between piety and power, and love and deception.
