AFFF26 A Nun in the City

Doux Jésus

Devoted to her austere convent for twenty years, Sister Lucie (Marilou Berry, Those Happy Days, AF FFF07) joins her fellow nuns on their annual group outing to visit the doctor. Overwhelmed by the outside world, she accidentally becomes separated from the group. Panicked, Lucie jumps onto the first bus she sees, hoping to find her way back, and ends up at a police station.

There, she is confronted with shocking news. On a television screen, she recognises the face of her teenage sweetheart, whom she has not seen since entering religious life. He has been accused of murder. The revelation reopens a past she believed long buried. Certain of his innocence, Lucie makes an impulsive decision: she cannot return to the convent without trying to help him.

Back at the convent, Lucie’s disappearance causes alarm. The formidable Mother Superior, Mother Henriette (Isabelle Nanty, Fahim, the Little Chess Prince, AF FFF21), sends two nuns, Sister Constance (Barbara Bolotner) and Sister Marthe (Néva Kéhouane), to find her and bring her back...

What follows is a hilarious chase through town, where Lucie, naive and full of faith, collides with a world she barely recognises.

With A NUN IN THE CITY, Frédéric Quiring (Our Tiny Little Wedding) delivers an offbeat comedy that playfully explores faith, freedom, and the courage to follow one’s convictions.

"A sparkling comedy with plenty of hilarious situations" (Sortir à Paris)

"A mischievous comedy boosted by the presence of Marilou Berry and Isabelle Nanty in the leading roles." RTBF
