About
The ability to perform miracles earns the charismatic Benedetta (Virginia Efira) a privileged position in a Tuscan monastery at the end of the 17th century. When her weakness for the young and vivacious Bartolomea grows into an unbridled passion, a game of intrigue begins that reaches into the upper echelons of the Italian church. Based on a true story, this erotic drama by the legendary Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct) earned a storming response from audiences and critics alike in the main competition at Cannes for its bold approach.
