In “Sister Death,” we are transported to post-war Spain, where Narcisa (played by Aria Bedmar), a young novice possessing supernatural abilities, embarks on a journey to a former convent, now transformed into a school for girls, with the aspiration of becoming a teacher. However, as the days pass, Narcisa is besieged by increasingly strange and disturbing occurrences that will ultimately compel her to unravel the web of dark secrets shrouding the convent and tormenting its inhabitants.

Joining the cast are Almudena Amor, Luisa Merelas, Chelo Vivares, and Maru Valdivielso, promising an ensemble of talented performers to bring this eerie tale to life.
