‘you like convent life; I hate it. god has given you favours; I have none. you would be lost in the world; your salvation is here. I will be lost here and I hope to be saved in the world’.

this was so sad… sobrang random lang bakit kaya yung mga movie about sa mga madre lagi na lang may involved na torture or corruption pero for sure naman wala na ganyan ngaun.. pero grabeh ganap na ganap talaga bilang mother superior 😟 parang mas bagay mistress ⁉️ anw ganda ng acting ni anna karina as always ❤️
