Full Synopsis:
In the summer of 1970, St. Cecilia’s Home for Girls provides shelter for young, unwed pregnant girls, but beneath its promises of care lies a rigid system designed to separate them from their babies. Laura, a newcomer, befriends Janie, a Black girl determined to defy the institution’s control, and Wendy, a rebellious spirit whose tragic fate exposes the harsh reality of their confinement. As Sister Patricia Ann grapples with her faith and the moral compromises forced upon her, she ultimately chooses to break away from the Church rather than uphold its cruel practices. Through grief, guilt, and unexpected solace, they seek to reclaim their stories and find healing in forgiveness.
