Based on Kathryn Hulme's novel, The Nun's Story follows Sister Luke (Audrey Hepburn), a compassionate nun who joins a Belgian order to care for the sick. As she faces strict discipline and the vow of obedience, she must balance devotion with her own conscience amid mid-20th-century upheaval. Directed by Fred Zinnemann, it's a restrained, morally complex drama about faith, duty, and the price of spiritual independence within a cloistered life.
