About This Movie

So, 'Sex Life in a Convent' is quite a curious piece from Eberhard Schröder. It’s this offbeat blend of comedy and drama set in a Catholic boarding school filled with 120 schoolgirls and nuns. You get this stark contrast between the outwardly strict environment and the hidden sexual tensions bubbling under the surface. The pacing is, let’s say, intentionally uneven, which kind of adds to the absurdity of the whole situation. The performances are a mix of earnestness and cheekiness, especially from the nuns who seem to straddle that line between authority and vulnerability. It’s not just about the risqué themes but also offers a glimpse into the contradictions of youthful discovery and institutional restraint. Definitely distinctive in its approach, if you know what I mean.

Distinctive blend of comedy and drama.Uneven pacing enhances absurdity.Explores themes of authority and youthful discovery.
