Hard-hitting feature about the experiences of a group of young women sent to the Irish Catholic convent-turned-asylum at Magdalene during the 1960s. Families send their daughters to the convent to atone for their sins: having an illegitimate child, harbouring illicit thoughts about the opposite sex. Despite physical and mental abuse from the nuns, the young women refuse to give into their ordeal, concocting elaborate escape plans to take them away from the oppressive air of Magdalene.
