A thoughtful, concerned account of fictional Roman Catholic nuns and their boarding school during the 1960s, Brides of Christ explores the issues of church restrictions and reverential joy in its six-hour, three-episode journey. The telefilmtelefilm, taking place in Australia and concentrating on three figures whose worlds shift with the stirrings of Vatican II, airs its points of view through a not-so-surprising storyline.
