Acogían a muchachas enviadas por sus familias o por los orfanatos, que allí quedaban encerradas y a las que se obligaba a trabajar en las lavanderías para expiar sus pecados. Dichos pecados eran de distinta naturaleza: desde ser madre soltera a ser demasiado bella o demasiado fea, o demasiado simple o demasiado inteligente, o víctima de una violación, y por tales pecados trabajaban sin percibir ninguna retribución, 364 días al año, y se las hacía pasar hambre, se las sometía a castigos físicos, humillaciones, violencia fisica y moral, y se las separaba de sus hijos.

The rules of the convent are very strict, so strict that they are often considered a form of torture.

Moreover, during Sarah's journey, she often has visions of the Convents past, visions that it was the house of a young girl named Ninfa... Ninfa's life was ruined by the religious fanaticism of her violent grandfather Geremia, who believes that he can talk directly with God. In reality, he is utterly mad, and this madness seems to be present today (within the walls of the convent) where young Sarah lives...
