What Is Damned If You Don’t About?

The premise of Damned If You Don’t without spoilers.

The film opens with footage from an old melodrama set in an isolated convent, its tale of restrained and unleashed passions forming a leitmotif for a young lesbian viewer. She becomes obsessed with a solitary nun, seducing her. Voice‑overs from a 16th‑century lesbian nun’s biography and memories of hidden romances at a Catholic school deepen desire.
