Additional Information
Set in the Bronx in 1964, St. Nicholas Church School’s principal, Sister Aloysius, a rigidly conservative nun insists upon constant vigilance. During a meeting with a younger nun, Sister James, it becomes clear that Aloysius harbors a deep mistrust toward her students, her fellow teachers, and society in general. Aloysius and Father Flynn are put into direct conflict when she learns from Sister James that the priest met one-on-one with Donald Muller, St. Nicholas’ first African-American student. Mysterious circumstances lead her to believe that sexual misconduct occurred. Sister Aloysius, in the presence of Sister James, openly confronts Father Flynn with her suspicions. He angrily denies wrongdoing, insisting that he was disciplining Donald for drinking altar wine, claiming to have been protecting the boy from harsher punishment. James is relieved by his explanation, but Sister Aloysius is not and meets with Donald's mother. Father Flynn eventually threatens to remove Aloysius from her position if she does not back down. The conflict between the priest and the nun escalates, but the end is ambiguous and leaves the audience wondering about the truth.
