A horny nun road movie that somehow became the most Catholic film about leaving Catholicism.
Rafaela is a young nun who belongs to a precarious congregation. For some time, a recurring dream has haunted her. At the same time, she is sent to a nearby town in search of the new archbishop. Along the way, she will experience extraordinary encounters that will either advance or retreat from her path.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Karla Badillo filmed in real declining religious communities in Querétaro, using actual nuns' stories as improv prompts. The 'congregation' barely exists now.
The recurring cicada sound design? That's not metaphor—Solián insisted on recording her actual childhood neighborhood's summer noise, claiming it was 'the voice of her doubt.'
