The Nun’s Story

Against her father’s wishes, the young Gaby joins a strict convent order, hoping to serve in a mission in Africa. Reduced largely to her face by the nun’s habit and stripped of glamour and romance, Audrey Hepburn delivers a performance of fragile strength. Every gesture—shaped by discipline and doubt—reveals the inner struggle her character wages between faith, obedience, and the longing for freedom.
