Good morning, Sister
Good day, Maria
You startled me, Marcello
I wanted to show you this lamb. It was born last week
The family grows...
See how much it weighs
At least two bags of rice or two barrels of wheat
Come and see me if he has any problems
Where's the rest of them?
There
Here...
Go on...
Take a bite
Still not done? What've you been up to?
Lazy creature!
I should have the pair of you locked up for a week
Dinner still not ready? You worthless creature
Look at this! What a disgusting mess...!
Only fit for animals!
Dinner's late again
What's wrong sister?
- I want to die - Why?
I've always felt this way
When you take religious orders you must change the way you think
You are a nun, Sister
I came here to hide from the world
I don't understand
My color, Sister. That's my curse
I just want to die
No
My parents were slaves. I was born a slave
I'm tired of being mistreated
I came to the convent to escape all that
But nothing's changed. I wish I'd never been born
Even here I'm treated badly
Sister, death is no solution
We don't own our lives
They belong now to our beloved Lord
Good morning, Sister
Come in
- Hail Mary the Pure - God be with you
Sister, Sofia's cow is sick
Mother Superior wants you to help
She says you know about these things
I think it's a lung infection
She's very sick
Caridad, bring me some pine needles, some mint and grass
And you, Sister, start to make a fire
Oil, Sister
You can go now. The worst is over
I'll stay. Go and get some sleep
God be with you, Sister
Can I help you?
Sister Maria, I've come to make a confession
I put my life in your hands
But why confide in me?
You should see the Mother Superior
Please, Sister Maria...
...only you can help me
I trust only you
Very well, tell me...
Maria... Sister... The truth is...
...I love you
I don't understand, Sister
Observing your virtue, your depth, your purity...
I fell in love with you
I love you Maria. Forgive me...
My name is Luzbel, Sister...
Call me Lucifer...
Mephisto...
If you want me...
If you need me
Just think of me
I'm everywhere
In your mind for eternity
All your life, I am with you
It is impossible to describe the face of a sinner
In fact, in a society of the damned they all look the same
In general they are fearsome; lifeless, like a corpse
Some are black... Some burn like a torch
Some are found in food or in sick bodies
Many are cursed. Instead of a face, they have fur
You can only see their teeth and their monstrous bodies
Good morning, Marcello
Morning, Maria
Do you know the story of the King of the River?
It's just a fairy tale, and you're too old for those now
- Do you have a girlfriend? - No, Sister! I swear
It's not a bad thing. You'll soon be a man
Maybe you already are
Yes, you are a man... I'm right, aren't l?
Do you want to show me how much?
It's me. Sister Clemencia. Open up
What is it?
Can't you say?
My shoulder... It really hurts
I fear it might be serious
- You must have sinned - No, Sister. I never sin
I have been here many years and am free of sin
Maybe... But you have the Devil's mark
Look! I have one too...
Don't lie to me
Sister... I know you have studied medicine
I know you can cure me
Does it still hurt?
What took you so long?
I was praying, Mother
I saw Sister Clemencia running away What happened?
She wanted me to cure her. But I couldn't
She's really...very sick
Do you know what it is?
My daughter, what troubles you?
Nothing, Mother
I can sense that you have something to tell me
But you're afraid
Our community is based on trust, forgiveness, help...
Why not let me help you?
Why won't you talk to me? Have you had wicked thoughts?
I was praying, Mother. I'm alright
I don't see the prayer book
It fell when I answered the door. I think it's under the bed
I'll pray for you, Mother... And for Clemencia
Sister Clemencia is very sick, Mother
...In here
Good evening, Mother. It's nice to see you
But why are you wandering here alone?
I heard Marcello was ill. I hope it's not serious
I came to see him
No, Mother. Marcello isn't ill
He's just very tired and is sleeping
But please come in. Please give him your blessing
In there, Mother
Come in
Hail Mary the Pure
What's wrong, Sister?
We came to ask if you want to go with us...
..to the funeral of Marcello and his grandmother
No! What happened?
A fire... They burned to death in their sleep
The villagers brought the bodies here
Where are the bodies?
In the chapel, waiting for burial
May l... I want to be alone with the bodies
I wish to pray for them
You know how much I loved Marcello
When the bells sound, I shall return from my vigil
Very well, Sister
Your sins know no bounds!
You have offended the Lord with your actions
I tried to help you but you rejected me
Do you hate me?
The Holy lnquisition will judge you
The important thing is to save your soul
But I have done nothing
You plead innocence?
No, not innocence. But the Devil is in me
I don't fear Hell...
...for I AM Hell!
Pray that the Lord did not hear you
I shall ascend to the highest point of heaven
And build my throne next to the stars
I'm more powerful than God
I'll not serve him
But revolt against him!
Silence! You speak the words of Satan!
I'll do as my master says
I'll gather together all those...
...most pure in heart and soul...
...have them follow after me, then torture them all...
...in the darkest realms of Hell!
You are damned!
Oh! Lord forgive me
I've always hated you
Ever since you stole my place here
Is everything ready?
Yes, it's sad the Lord took Marcello and his grandmother
He was so young
Lord, if I worshipped you because I feared Hell
Then let me burn in Hell
If I loved you only in promise of Heaven
Then exclude me from it
But if I loved you for yourself, then am I your daughter
Your daughter...
Don't deny me your wonders
Sister... I've come to save you
You will be the happiest of all women
Begone and leave me with my pain, damn you!
You turned me into a monster. Begone!
Accept me and you shall become Mother Superior
I wish to die in peace. Begone, Lucifer!
Look, Sister, the nuns are coming to take you to the lnquisition
They bring the fiery cross
You know what that means
Before killing you, they will torture you
Your mouth will be ripped open
It will be filled with molten lead
Your body torn into a thousand pieces
Your screams will echo through the valley
They will all watch you die
Think of that
Think!
Do you wish to be Mother Superior?
You will be happy and important
Silence, you have tempted me enough
Begone, Satan!
In the name of Christ!
Luzbel! Luzbel! I accept your bargain
I accept!
Sister, we have chosen you as our new Mother Superior
Do you accept? Your virtue honors our community
Please accept
With you, we will all go to glory
Cease your penitence. Guide us into the light
Sister Maria, lead us to Christ
- Accept, Sister Maria - Without you, we are lost
You are our guide
The purest
The most good
The most virtuous
I had decided to die here, in torment
But if the community wants me, I accept
Even though there are others more deserving
See, I kept my promise. You're no longer just a nun
Those in Hell do not see their imperfections
In air, fire and water their breath their own atmosphere...
...to reach their goal
Now you're Mother Superior, their spiritual guide
Go on...
Go and enjoy yourself
But first...
Go to the balcony. The town waits to greet its chosen one
Bye, Mother Superior!
Hail! Hail! Hail the Mother Superior
All Sister Maria's suffering is over now
She's gone to the glory of God
So sad she was locked up like this
We tried to protect her from the plague
Yet it still took her life
Let's pray for the eternal rest of her soul
- Well? - Yes, Mother Superior...
...Sister Maria has gone to heaven
After seven days of suffering she finally gave up her spirit
I'll arrange for a Mass, and the funeral
