The Nun's Story. Audrey Hepburn in one of her finest performances. Perched Fred Zinnemann`s "The Nun's Story" is an intensely beautiful and powerful film about a woman who undergoes a crisis of faith to learn the importance of finding her true path in life. Based on the novel by Kathryn Hulme, this film tells the story of Gabrielle van der Mal, a Belgian woman who enters the convent in the 1930`s, spends a brief period working as a nurse in the Congo, then leaves the order after years of intense personal struggle with herself and with God.

On a scales of 1 to 7 angels, Medjugorje USA gives this movie a rating of
