Brides of Christ

Set in the 1960s, Brides of Christ tells the story of a group of nuns in a fictitious inner city convent school in Sydney during a time of radical upheaval in society and in the Catholic Church. In the era of Vietnam and the Rolling Stones, established disciplines and rites are questioned in a collision between an ancient institution and the modern world. The series shows nuns as highly spirited questioning women, with sexual feelings and very human failings.

La répercussion des changements sociaux qui a lieu en 1960 sur l’Église catholique.

En los años 60, dentro de un convento, seis mujeres se enfrentan a un dilema: mantener las tradiciones por las que se rige la comunidad o adaptarse a los cambios sociales que se están produciendo en la sociedad de la época. Una aclamada miniserie de televisión ganadora de 4 premios del Australian Film Institute -entre ellos el de mejor miniserie y el de mejor actriz de televisión (Lisa Hensley)- que contó con los oscarizados Naomi Watts y Russell Crowe, ambos australianos.
