Synopsis
1972, Greece is under military rule. Alice, 22, camps on a secluded beach with fellow hippies, while Cristina, 25, works in the only tavern nearby. One night, the camp gets raided by the local police. As she helps Alice escape, Cristina gets injured. Alice takes her to the nearest shelter, which happens to be a monastery. None could imagine that what awaits them inside is a worse nightmare than the one that was chasing them: a death cult headed by a ruthless Abbess.
