"Obedience - Poverty."
Inspired by stories from Boccaccio's The Decameron, writer-director Jeff Baena makes life at the convent during the Middle Ages hilarious, with help from a brilliant ensemble cast that features Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, Kate Micucci, Dave Franco, Molly Shannon, John C. Reilly, Nick Offerman and Fred Armisen.
Medieval nuns Alessandra, Fernanda, and Ginevra lead a simple life in their convent. Their days are spent chafing at monastic routine, spying on one another, and berating the estate's day laborer. After a particularly vicious insult session drives the peasant away, Father Tommasso brings on new hired hand Massetto, a virile young servant forced into hiding by his angry lord. Introduced to the sisters as a deaf-mute to discourage temptation, Massetto struggles to maintain his cover as the repressed nunnery erupts in a whirlwind of pansexual horniness, substance abuse, and wicked revelry.
Plot summary from IMDb: In the Middle Ages, a young servant fleeing from his master takes refuge at a convent full of emotionally unstable nuns. Introduced as a deaf mute man, he must fight to hold his cover as the nuns try to resist temptation.
Awards: 4 nominations.
Runtime: 90 min
