, Clausura ' which won the Italia Prize In 1968
English translation by Thomas Sterling
The original programme consisted of recordings made in a Carmelite convent of ceremonies and interviews with nuns, and gave a vivid picture of the day-today life of an enclosed community.
In this English production all the original sound effects are retained. The members of the cast have aimed, by means of minute study of the Italian recording, to reproduce in detail not only the matter but the expression and mood of the original.
