Three girls are admitted to the Magdalene Asylum at the same time. Bernadette, an orphan, attracts the attention of the boys around her with her beauty; Margaret is accused of being raped by her cousin; and Rose is accused of having a baby out of wedlock, each considered a "sin." The Magdalene Asylums, which date back to the 19th century, were institutions for "fallen" women. But what awaited the girls who were admitted was a life of surveillance and abuse by the nuns. This controversial film won the Golden Lion at the 2002 Venice International Film Festival.
