On the run from the battle-seasoned Lord Bruno for sleeping with his wife, handsome and willing servant Massetto flees to the safety of the woods during the warm, peaceful summer of 1347. There, after a chance encounter with the always boozy but merciful Father Tommasso, the young charmer finds refuge in his convent's sanctuary, on one condition: to pretend he is a deaf-mute. However, Massetto's tempting presence unavoidably upsets the already-frail balance of things within the sexually-repressed female realm, as nun after nun desperately seeks an escape from their tedious way of life and an extra reason to molest the charming handyman. In the end, will those cloistered Sisters finally find out what they had been missing for all these years?.
