The heroine, Dilauris, is a bar resident singer in the casino, and her boyfriend is a mafia boss, but the boyfriend has another wife and does not want to divorce.
In a fit of rage, Dilores plans to break up with the other person, and her boyfriend sends a very beautiful mink coat for peace. Di Lauris tried it on with a little joy, but found that the coat was actually his wife's, so she went to the other party in a rage, intending to say goodbye to the scumbag completely, but she ran into her boyfriend and killed people with his men.
The boyfriend does not trust her and intends to get rid of her, so Dilores begins to run for her life again, and at this time, Dilauris can be said to be not only emotionally frustrated, but also chaotic.
With the aura of the protagonist, Dilauris escaped the pursuit of two of her men and came to the police station for help. The police said: We have been investigating your boyfriend for a long time, we can protect you, but you have to give us witnesses. Dilores had to agree in order to escape the pursuit, and the brain-saving police officer decided to hide her in the monastery.
Dilores, accustomed to the night life, was completely unable to adapt to the convent, and not only was she unable to do the daily work of a nun, but she felt that such a life was like squatting in prison.
She was accustomed to singing in the evenings, but the monastery asked her to get up at five o'clock in the morning, which was worse than death for Dilores, and she tried to escape from the monastery more than once, but without success. After tossing and turning for an unknown number of times, she gradually became quiet.
At this time, the conservative dean Mamma had a flash of inspiration, thinking that the best way to manage this night nun was to let her play her own strengths and sing.
So Dilores was arranged to join the monastery's choir, and what Neither Dilauris nor the Abbot expected was that this arrangement would be a redemption for both of them.
The monastery before Dilauris's arrival, due to the conservative management of the abbot, was not only old and closed, but not many people came to Mass even on weekends. The monastery choir was equally lifeless and disorganized.
Under everyone's recommendation, Dilauris became the choir leader, and the originally irritable Dilauris was surprised to find that her talent and enthusiasm could bring changes to the entire choir. From this time on, Dilores's heart gradually returned to order.
Di Lauris first separated everyone by bass, midrange, and treble, so that everyone stood in an orderly position. Next, she began to listen to the characteristics of each person's voice, she told the fat nun who had always been happy that her voice did not have to be too high-pitched, and guided the young and shy nun to turn her voice on.
The whole choir was rejuvenated under her leadership, and she told everyone that when you sing, you must hear the voices of others, and when you cooperate with each other, you will sing beautiful choruses.
The choir's rehearsals amazed everyone in the convent, except for the conservative abbot Mamma, who considered Dilauris's incorporation of popular singing into religion to be a serious blasphemy against the gods, and repeatedly opposed Dilauris's practices.
Helplessly, the priest and the sisters of the monastery always sided with Dilores, and the abbot had no choice but to accept Dilauris, who thought that Dilauris had intensified, not only changing the choir, but also persuading the abbot to open the door of the monastery that had been closed for many years and leading everyone to help the surrounding community.
The whole monastery was full of life for a while, people began to be curious about this group of happy nuns, and the weekend mass was full.
Just when everyone was happy, Dilauris's trail was exposed by the reporters who came to interview. The underworld ex-boyfriend and his men took Dilauris away without scruples.
At the end of the film, the abbot's grandmother took the sisters of the monastery to break all the conceptual restrictions and came to the casino to rescue Dilauris, but fortunately, the police arrived in time, and Dilauris finally saved her life.
The Abbot and Dilloris also reached a reconciliation at this time: "You brought the atmosphere of the casino to the monastery, completely disrupted our lives, and put everyone in danger, thank you." ”
At the end of the film, the classic chanting of the whole film is deep and sincere, touching people's hearts. Di Lauris, who has experienced hardships, seems to have suddenly understood the true meaning of life, and she sings devotedly and calmly.
The ending song "I will follow him" is exactly what Dilorice sang at the beginning of the film when she was in the bar, and the two repetitions of the song are in stark contrast.
While singing the song at the bar, Dilores was irritable and complaining, her relationship with her boyfriend was full of hurt and distrust, she questioned life, and she felt like she was trapped in the invisible prison of life.
When she has been complaining about life and boyfriend, she is actually firmly bound by her own complaints, and when she is really locked up in a convent, unable to release anger and dissatisfaction, her heart can be freed.
She had thought that complaining, angering, and enjoying the flowers and drinks were the means to happiness, until one day she was forced to give up these means—of course, the process of giving up was very painful for her, and she learned to devote herself to life.
Dilauris's change is also related to the spiritual qualities of the nuns.
The loving nuns, who never once despised or disliked Dilauris, trusted Dilauris as much as they believed in God. This trust is not the slightest doubt, and it gives people a great sense of security.
Di Lauris's pain lies in the fact that there is no trust between her boyfriend and her, and he is indeed betrayed by Di Lauris.
In the eyes of the nuns, Dilores was seen as "a gift from God."
Di Lauris threw herself into the choir, feeling praised and needed from the eyes of the people around her, which allowed her to completely get out of her anxiety and get a deep satisfaction - her existence and talent were revealed.
This satisfaction is enough to support her to choose to help the choir complete the dedication to the pope in the face of life danger, which is not a moral self-requirement, it belongs to human nature, an emotional response inspired by love and trust, and this person chooses to express the happiness in his heart in the form of dedication.
Di Lauris's relationship with the Dean is equally profound. Bars and monasteries, originally the two extremes of indulgence and restraint, the two look at each other only one glance, both feel difficult to accept, together is a great challenge to their own beliefs.
After the collapse, both men saw their shortcomings with the help of each other.
The Dean no longer held herself in a position of observance of the precepts, and she found that the energetic Dilauris brought such a rich life to the people around her, and dilauris, after comparing the two lives, found that the real satisfaction did not come from indulgence, but from the love and dedication to life.
This investment not only makes a person more closely connected to the objective world, but also allows him to return to his own mind, to the original order of the mind.
This mental journey has completely changed Dilauris's attitude towards life, and although she still has not been able to marry her boyfriend, it is no longer a problem for her, because she is no longer following a man, but an inner divinity.
The lyrics of the ending song have a subtle change to express the difference between the two to those who have a heart.
The love between men and women has similarities with the sincere faith, and enthusiasm and sincerity will never become a blasphemy against the gods, and we must learn to trust and be grateful in the face of lovers.
I have heard it said that all love songs can be seen as an outpouring of God, or that love is inherently sacred.
