Storyline

This film follows a group of free-spirited, courageous, and inspired women who feel a deep calling to serve as Catholic priests. Despite their unwavering faith and dedication, they face a rigid barrier: the Church's refusal to recognize their vocation. Determined to understand why, these women embark on a bold investigation into the heart of the Vatican, one of the last strongholds of institutionalized misogyny, challenging centuries of tradition to uncover the reasons behind this powerful and injust prohibition.
