When a fancy car pulls up outside six-year-old Marie’s home in
1959, her dad tells her she is going on holiday. But little does she
know she will not see her home again for four long years. Her
family cannot afford to keep her at home.
Marie tells the story of how she was taken away from a poor but
happy and loving home life to live in a convent, away from
everyone and everything she holds dear. Her hair is
bluntly chopped, her clothes are taken away, and her name is
changed.
Then a horrific ritual of physical, sexual and mental abuse begins.
Even after the convent closes, Marie is unable to share details of
her suffering with anyone. But when a police investigation is
launched, Marie realises that the time has come to tell the truth...
