Sister Smile
Cecile de France stars in the true story of Jeannine Deckers, international '60s pop icon Soeur Sourire, or The Singing Nun. Jeannine's dull parents want her to marry and take over their bakery, but Jeannine - an aspiring musician - longs for adventure. When she suddenly decides to enter a convent to escape her parents, she is encouraged by her Mother Superior to indulge her dreams of singing for the good of her Order. Jeannine records the song "Dominique" , and becomes an overnight worldwide sensation, outselling even Elvis and the Beatles. But how much can the walls and vows of convent life contain a superstar?
