“This
is the story of a girl who wrote a letter to God, and God answered...”
A young girl, Maria, is caught in flagrante delicto with her lover
by Father Vicente, who belongs to the nearby Serreda Iris cloister.
The fiendish clergyman persuades her parents, who are poor and easily
intimidated, to put Maria under his protection.
She is brought to Serreda Iris, where the nuns seem to have an unusual
interest in her beautiful body. After her virginity is proven by
the Mother Superior-who is called Mother Alma!-she gets her first
undeserved punishment: several layers of thorns are applied to her
skin. It soon becomes clear that the monks and nuns of Serreda Iris
are actually satanists who perform black masses and lewd rituals
to honor the Honored One. Maria tries to escape, but she trusts
the wrong person and is brought back. After that, she is questioned
by the Holy Inquisition and tells all she knows about Vicente and
Alma. The Inquisitor doesn’t really believe her, but the accusation
has uncomfortable consequences for the accused. So Vicente tries
his best to make Maria revoke her statement. Maria, abondoned by
everyone, loses hope, but first she wants to make things clear with
the only friend left to her: She writes a letter to God and throws
it out of the window.
