Movie Haiku:Audrey Hepburn is radiant in her search for spiritual purity. Her steps are shown in careful detail from novice to postulant to nursing Sister in the (then) Belgian Congo. Luminous in the face of self-doubt & failed obedience, she rises above the often over-bearing soundtrack to another dimension of being.
