Detrás de los muros de un convento, reina el silencio, solo salpicado por el murmullo de las oraciones o los melismas de los cantos litúrgicos. O así es como solemos imaginarlo, pero la realidad es otra. Un espacio creado por mujeres y para mujeres, con otras formas de amar, cuidar, organizarse, crear y convivir. Y, sobre todo, podemos constatar que TODO LO QUE NOS PASA, YA LE PASÓ A UNA MONJA DEL BARROCO.
