Novitiate

In the early 1960s, during the tumultuous Vatican II era, a young woman named Cathleen trains to become a nun, grappling with fundamental questions of faith, identity, and sexuality in a society where conformity is strictly enforced. As she navigates her new role, Cathleen must confront the strictures of her order and her own desires, all while trying to maintain her devotion to God. With its thoughtful exploration of these complex issues, Novitiate offers a powerful and thought-provoking portrayal of a young woman's journey towards self-discovery.
