Plot Summary
Banned for more than two decades, the film portrays the 16th‑century Carmelite nun St. Teresa amid flickering candles and crucifixes. In a stark, symbolic tableau she drifts into an erotic reverie, imagining an intimate union with the crucified Christ that mirrors the depths of her own psyche.
