A plethora of eccentric nuns inhabit the Convent of Humble Redeemers where junkie nightclub singer Yolanda seeks refuge following her boyfriend’s overdose. One sister authors lurid novels, another trips on acid, a third houses a pet tiger, and the Mother Superior has a drug problem. A tender tale of unrequited love infused with a vein of surreal humour.
