Synopsis:

A number of people who have devoted their lives to God find themselves undone by desires of the flesh in this unusual erotic drama. The abbess (Moyna Cope) of a convent invites the leader of a group of monks (Simon Hill) to visit her and offer needed advice. A wave of sexual temptation has begun to flood the convent, with the Mother Superior (Sally Tremaine) having bizarre sexual fantasies about Mary Magdalene (Kristina Bill), and many of the other nuns suddenly attracted to each other. However, the presence of a man only fuels the fires of a potentially explosive situation. Sacred Flesh (whose writer and director, Nigel Wingrove, previously dealt with a similar mix of sexuality and spirituality in his controversial short subject Visions of Ecstasy) was shot on videotape, and was projected electronically for its initial British engagements.

An abbot receives a request to visit a nunnery, where, according to the abbess, the sisters have been engaged in some form of `debauchery'.

An abbot visits the nunnery of Sister Elizabeth to investigate allegations of debauchery among the sisters.
