Synopsis
1975, Rosenkreuz Manor: Sigrun, a young nurse, begins caring for the enigmatic Baroness Heidenreich, whose aristocratic veneer masks a dark past. Unsettling customs and an otherworldly atmosphere pull Sigrun into the Baroness’s sinister web, as the quest to uncover her own origins leads to a secret SS archive.
As Sigrun becomes entangled in an esoteric cabal with ties to Aryan mysticism, she discovers the eerie power of occult practices–and her own chilling role within the group’s radical vision. Featuring a gripping narrative and mesmerizing visuals, Mother Superior is a haunting meditation on ideology, identity, and the inescapable pull of heritage.
