Soeur Innocenta, priez pour nous! (2000)

Yesterday he was a traditionalist Catholic activist, a royalist, a permanent member of Philippe de Villiers' Mouvement pour la France, a scout leader, a future monk at the monastery of Le Barroux, and a petitioner against the gay bar down the street. Today he is gay and proud of it, involved in the fight against AIDS, pro-choice sympathizer and even Sister of Perpetual Indulgence (a movement of gay activists dressing up as nuns classified as heretical by Pope John Paul II). After a confusing beginning, the film plunges you into the heart of a long and passionate confession during which Sister Innocenta comes back on these years of extreme right-wing militancy to finally open up and assume herself as a gay man.
