Answer
Dear Gabriela,
Thank you for your very interesting question. There have been many movies made over the years about nuns. To research the plots of them to find the one you remember may take some detective work on your part. I would suggest that you go to www.imdb.com, which is a great web site that allows you to read through various plot synopses of films.

A partial list is shown below.

Sincerely,
David Menefee
