Former pupils Lies, Joke and Roos tell how they ended up in one of the homes of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd in the 1960s. They had to work hard six days a week at the sewing machine or in the laundry and the nuns proved to be ruthlessly strict. Now, years later, the women investigate what can still be found of this past. Can they find any other witnesses who know more?
