The 1960s was an era of unprecedented freedom and openness, but the numerous movements and thoughts did not seem to affect a Madeleine foster home in the suburbs of Dublin. This asylum institution strictly controlled by a group of nuns is simply those regarded by society as " The hell of the “hell of the alien” young girls. At a family wedding, Margaret was raped by her cousin. She told her friends painfully about the incident, the news spread wildly among relatives, and everything was quietly changing under the cover of cheerful music. She was tied up the next day without any explanation. The fashionable and beautiful Bernadette attracted the attention of many boys, who surrounded her like flies all day and lured her to the abyss of corruption. This beautiful woman spreads out alluring charm more and more. Rose got pregnant first when she was unmarried, and after giving birth to a son, the priest persuaded her to give up her son to ensure her future life.
The three girls were all sent to the Madeleine foster home. The day they entered the home, they were introduced to Sister Bridget, a woman who stubbornly believed that she was doing the will of God, extremely cold and ruthless. She threatened these girls to purify their souls through labor and prayer in the name of God. They were treated as cheap slaves doing heavy labor and were abused by nuns who abused power in an isolated foster home.
There is also a low-mind girl in the foster home. She holds a medal as a phone all day, trying to talk to her son who was snatched from her. The endless torture made the girls unbearable, and Margaret and Bernadette planned to escape. However, an escaped girl was sent back again, beaten by her father, and her hair was cut off by Sister Bridget. This makes them feel discouraged and desperate.
