In 1960s Ireland, young women deemed "fallen" by society are sent to the Magdalene Laundries, a convent where they'll atone for their sins through strict discipline and hard labor. Behind the convent's walls, the women endure constant abuse and humiliation, forced to work long hours for little pay and suffer the whims of the sadistic Mother Superior. Despite their struggles, the women form a bond and find moments of solace and laughter in their shared hardships. But as the years go by, they begin to question the convent's true purpose and wonder if they'll ever be free. Based on a true story, this powerful drama exposes the dark history of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries and the women who suffered within them.
