About Penal School for Raped Girls
Young prostitutes are taken to a penal school run by a group of nuns so that they can recover. However, the current mother superior is actually a mad assassin who killed the real one and took her place, changing the entire treatment and discipline regime of the boarding school.
Directed by Antonio Meliande, Penal School for Raped Girls leans on a strong ensemble — Meiry Vieira, Sérgio Hingst, Zilda Mayo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1977.
