Closed Captions

Lounge singer Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg) goes into witness protection disguised as a nun following a mob hit by her gangster boyfriend, Vince (Harvey Keitel). Butting heads with the strict Reverend Mother (Maggie Smith) and struggling with life in the convent, Deloris (now known as Sister Mary Clarence) throws herself into revitalising its choir. As their electrifying and unconventional performances gain popularity, Deloris finds herself targeted by her vengeful ex.

A film sequel and a stage musical followed this uplifting hit comedy, which netted comedy, film and music awards.
