Based on a from Nogoyá, Argentina, this upcoming series (produced by TNT and Flow) explores much darker "relationships" within a convent.
Sor Juana, a brilliant poet and philosopher, had joined the convent at the age of 21. She quickly became known for her intelligence and her beautiful writing. Sor Catalina, on the other hand, was a young noblewoman who had been sent to the convent by her family.
In both history and modern fiction, the concept of "monjas reales" (real-life nuns) navigating romantic relationships is a powerful theme. It explores the tension between sacred vows and human desire.
That's an interesting topic! It sounds like you might be looking for a review of a specific , movie , or TV show , or perhaps you're interested in the historical reality of relationships in convents.
In literature, the theme of monjas reales and their romantic relationships has been explored in works such as "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco, which features a storyline involving a romantic relationship between two monks, and "The Convent of the Golden Pavilion" by Yukio Mishima, which explores the theme of same-sex relationships within a Japanese Buddhist convent.
Television and film have recently embraced more empathetic views of these storylines. Shows like Warrior Nun (though supernatural) or films like Novitiate and Benedetta (inspired by the life of 17th-century nun Benedetta Carlini) examine the physical and emotional expressions of love between women in religious orders.
