Loosely based on the true story of Soeur Sourire, who had a #1 pop hit in America with "Dominique". Unfortunately, the lovable nun was a one-hit wonder whose life did not continue happily after her brief blush of chart success. After leaving the church for a full-time music career, she ran into heavy financial problems and eventually took her own life.
Father Clementi:
Your songs, your music, don't you think you've won a great victory through them?
Sister Ann:
What kind of victory, Father, if I've lost myself winning it?
At the beginning of the movie, Sister Ann nearly runs into a horse-drawn cart. She straps her suitcase vertically to the rear of the scooter, but as she rides down the street in Ghent, the suitcase is strapped on lying on its side. When she arrives at the Convent, she removes the suitcase, now strapped vertically once again.
