for I have sinned.

It's been two days

since my last confession.

And what do you wish

to confess?

The other day, I found

a turnip in the garden

and I ate it all by myself,

and I didn't share it

with my sisters.

- And it was so delicious...

- Sister.

Ginevra just told me

the same story.

Did you overhear

her confession?

No.

Fine.

Do you have anything else

to confess?

No. I have nothing else

to confess.

Well,

you missed lauds, sister.

That's something.

Well, that's because

the donkey escaped

in the woods, and I saved her.

You should be

thanking me, father.

Look,

I'm just gonna...

I don't know what

to do here.

If you don't confess,

god can't forgive you, so...

I have nothing to confess.

All right.

Well, just go and think about

what you've done.

-Let's try it again next week.

-Yes, father.

First day.

First day. Thank you.

You survived.

Mmm-hmm.

How's it going?

Yeah, no...

All the work itself,

it went really smoothly.

And I did a lot of great work

in the cloister,

and that was good.

And I met a few of the...

The sisters, and they were...

They were... they were,

you know, very interesting.

And just grateful...

Grateful to be here, so...

These girls can be tough.

I'm not gonna lie.

-They can be very tough.

-Really?

And violent.

Violence? I...

Wow, I just...

I find that so hard

to believe.

They were...

They were so lovely.

They physically

have attacked people.

So, if anything happens,

just tell me.

Yeah. I...

Whatever it is, I can fix it,

but you have to tell me.

I mean, this deaf-mute thing

is there to protect you...

Exactly.

...and to keep the sisters

away from you.

'Cause they can have

a pack mentality.

Ultimately, this is gonna be

a very positive influence.

Living ethically every day,

serving god.

It's really gonna fortify

your soul.

Yeah, you're right.

I think I can learn a lot

by watching the sisters

and everyone around,

who seem very ethical

and, yeah.

Cheers.

Actually, I was gonna ask you,

is it...

Is it all right that we keep

drinking the sacramental wine?

Well, I blessed it, so...

-You blessed it, so it's...

-I mean,

don't mention it

to anyone else, but...

How could I?

I'm deaf and mute, remember?

-Hi.

-Hi.

You're not going to bed,

are you?

No.

Do you have anything to drink?

What do you want?

Father tommasso

left the ambry unlocked.

Hi. I'm marta.

She's my childhood friend.

- Yeah, yeah, childhood friend.

- We grew up together.

Are you drunk?

No. And...

Then you should have more.

Your room's gorgeous.

Yeah.

My dad got it for me.

Why is it so big?

It's a lot bigger

than your room.

Is it?

I've never been in your room.

Yes, you have.

No.

Don't laugh.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Go back to bed.

- I can't sleep!

You're too loud!

-Get outta here!

Get the f*** in here!

What are you doing here?

-Shut the f*** up.

-What are you doing?

Who... who are you?

-Hi.

-That's marta.

I'm marta.

You have an accent.

Where are you from?

The south?

-Oh, my god.

-Are you from umbria?

No. What's she talking about?

-I sound just like you.

-No. She's from here.

- You're not from gartagnana.

- Yes, she is.

You do not sound like you're

from gartagnana.

Are you drinking

the sacramental wine?

-Yes.

-No.

-Father tommasso

drinks it all the time.

-I'm gonna tell mother marea.

I'm gonna tell mother marea.

Why are you always

telling on people?

Why are you choking me?

Yeah, shut up.

Just drink a little bit of it.

Sister Alessandra wants you

to drink.

Ginevra, it's fine.

Nothing matters in life.

We're all gonna die.

Terrible things are happening

all the time.

You're not allowed

to have visitors here.

-You're not allowed...

-Just enjoy this moment...

We're all gonna die.

And just drink a little wine.

-But we're not gonna get

in trouble?

-Do it.

Do it.

Whoo!

Oh, that tastes bad.

That's bad.

I think there was sand in it.

Is it true

that you've never...

Been touched by a man,

or touched a man?

No.

Never?

No, never.

I feel sad for you.

Do you ever wonder

what it's like?

Why? Is it really so great?

It's the greatest pleasure

on earth.

Really?

-Mmm.

Mmm.

Oh, my god, you have no idea.

In fact, it's so good

that I've heard of women

who make this potion

out of this plant belladonna

just to seduce men.

We can't do it,

'cause we would

get locked up.

Yeah, it's a mortal sin.

We wouldn't get into heaven.

It's a mortal sin.

Yeah, then you probably

shouldn't do it.

Probably shouldn't do it.

Doesn't really matter, anyway,

'cause we're never

gonna know that.

Nothing matters.

Are you really

from gartagnana?

Yeah. I am.

Mmm-hmm.

Hi, little one.

I don't feel well.

-I don't feel well.

-Yeah, it's 'cause

this is too tight.

No...

Yeah, let's just...

I should go. I should go.

Okay. No, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry! But what is...

Oh, no, it's my room.

This is my room.

Yeah, it's your room.

-I'm sorry.

-It's okay.

I'm sorry. I don't...

Hi. Um...

Hi.

Hi.

I made this for you.

For you, yes. Let me show you.

You can, um, sort of...

It says thank you, just for...

Just letting me talk

to you the other day.

I talk so crazy, I know.

I mean, you know, you can't,

you know, hear me.

Do you need help?

Do you need help?

I just...

Okay. Is that help for you?

Yeah.

Is that how you do it?

Okay. Okay.

Oh, I'm so dirty.

It's so warm.

It's so hot out here.

Just have to...

Oh...

That's better.

Sorry.

Sorry.

You're right. You're right.

That's too fast.

That's too fast.

We should stop.

Sorry.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay.

Bye.

Glory to god in the highest,

and on earth,

peace to people of good will.

We praise you. We bless you.

We adore you. We glorify you.

We give you thanks

for your great glory,

lord god.

Heavenly king, o god,

almighty father...

Last night was nice.

Are you tired?

Yeah.

Yeah, me too.

You feel okay?

No, I don't feel good.

I had fun.

I said I don't feel good.

Can you please stop talking?

Well, okay.

Hi, ladies.

What are you doing here?

Um, I was just

in the neighborhood.

What?

I'm kidding.

No, my veil just got

a little dirty,

and I knew you girls

were here,

and I thought I'd come visit

and wash it with you guys.

You're gonna wash

your own veil?

Yeah. Why not?

You never wash anything.

Wasn't last night so fun?

How'd your veil get so dirty?

Um...

Well, earlier I was

in the garden,

and the new handyman was there

digging a ditch,

and I just thought

I'd help him out.

You dug a ditch?

It was actually...

It was really fun.

So, what do I do?

Do I just dip it in the...

In the water?

It's so... ooh, it's...

It's really dirty over here.

First you put it in the water,

and then you bring it over

to the bowl that has the ash.

And you put it in the bowl,

and you put the ash

on top of it,

and then you let it

sit for a day.

So then tomorrow,

you would come back

and take it out of the bowl,

and then you rinse

it really well in the water...
