      Edit
      Renouncing her "sinful" past, Emanuelle has entered a convent and has dedicated herself to a life of service. Enter Monica, the free-spirited, free-loving daughter of a wealthy Baron. Emanuelle is charged with keeping Monica in line, but when the young girl's wild ways bring back memories of her own sensual past, Emanuelle begins questioning her own religious and sexual identity.

      Adequate nunsploitation, a little lackluster
      While watching I wondered whether the film was about the nun or the girl who is sent to the convent girl. Sister Emanuel was the stern looking, dark skinned woman, I gathered. She has her vocation, and the schoolgirl has her vocation, but those vocations are at opposite ends of the spectrum. I do not think Sister Emanuel was doing her job properly. She should have insisted that girl was not suitable at that school, once she discovered her fellating one of the other passengers. Maybe she would have fit in better at a drama school. The mother superior could have suggested that to the girl's father after sending her back. The schoolgirl, who looks mid 20s, prefers men, but if none are around then girls will do. She sleeps in the nude, which none of her roommates object to. If I were sharing a room or a dorm with someone, I would be pretty unhappy if he slept in the nude. And if he tried to get in bed with me because he was afraid if the thunder, I would push him out with extreme prejudice, and then find somewhere else to sleep. I suppose it is different for girls. Emanuel, on the other hand, leads such an ascetic life that she has to put on a special gown to have a shower, although she still has to take her other clothes off before she puts the gown on. It is not the best nunsploitation film out there, but it is not the worst.
