The film belongs to the 'nunsploitation' subgenre. It contains strong scenes of graphic violence relating to demonic possession and is among few films containing original hardcore pornography that already passed Italian censorship in 1979 and were projected in some Italian cinemas.{{sfn|Grattarola|Napoli|2014|p=333}} It includes explicit lesbianic depictions of digital penetration and cunnilingus.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}} PlotBehind the walls of a secluded convent, the nuns commit sexual acts at night with each other, while living in fear that their Mother Superior may learn of their transgressions. One day, an injured man appears at the convent and the sisters take him in. One by one, the nuns become attracted to the man and take turns visiting his room at night. Unbeknownst to them, Satan has also entered the convent and is turning the nuns into horny sinners. Finally, an exorcist is sent to the convent to drive out Satan and restore godliness to the monastery's lustful inhabitants. CastCredited:
