Flavia the Heretic (1974)

Flavia, a young nun, challenges the oppressive system of a Catholic convent in 15th-century Italy. She faces misogyny, brutality, and injustice, and after being raped, she seeks revenge against her tormentors. Through self-liberation and acts of violence, Flavia fights for freedom and female empowerment. Set against the backdrop of superstition and religious conflicts, Flavia becomes a symbol of defiance in a world plagued by misogyny and injustice.
