An idealistic novice nun, hoping to practice good works in the world, opens the doors of her ancestral estate to a ragtag collection of the poor, tired, and hungry. But her charity backfires when the recipients of her benevolence don't warm to her ministrations, choosing to go on living just as they were-in the gutter. A scathing indictment of perceived Catholic self-righteousness from surrealist master Bunuel.
