The film follows a young girl's coming of age experience while preparing to receive her Confirmation. She is attending catechism classes in a parish run by a corrupt priest, Don Mario, and for her the parish quickly becomes a place of dubious morality and questionable authority. The narrative thus explores the relation she maintains with her own self, but also with an alienating world around her, in which the Catholic Church plays a big part.
