Story
In medieval Italy during the year 1347, a handsome servant named Masseto flees his vindictive master and seeks refuge in an otherwise all-female nunnery. Three young nuns - Sister Alessandra, Sister Ginevra, and Sister Fernanda - reside there, each grappling with their own existential crises as they struggle to find meaning in their lives and their nunhood.
Summary
Little Hours is a comedy film directed by Jeff Baena that uses anachronistic elements to comedic effect. Set in Garfagnana, Italy during the 14th century, it explores themes of purpose and self-discovery within a convent setting. The plot revolves around Masseto's unexpected presence in the nunnery and its impact on the sisters' daily lives, as they attempt to navigate their complicated emotions amidst their vows.
