在这部玛德莲堕落少女剧情片中,20世纪60年代，在自由开放的大环境下，古老的爱尔兰仍保持着古板和保守的风气。在这里，所有被认为堕落的女孩都要被送入玛德莲女子学院接受感化，而等待他们的不是和风细雨，而是无尽的黑暗与绝望。
玛格丽特（Anne-Marie Duff 饰）在家族婚礼上被堂兄奸污，这件事在婚礼现场口耳相传，她的委屈并未得到伸张，反而被作为“不洁的女孩”送走；活泼漂亮的伯纳黛特（Nora-Jane Noone 饰）是男孩们追逐的对象，她为了自己的“轻佻”付出了代价；罗丝（Dorothy Duffy 饰）未婚先孕，为了所谓的前途被迫放弃了自己的孩子。
三个女孩来到了玛德莲女子学院，她们还不知道，这是一个有来无回的绝望之地……
A thoroughly mind-provoking film about 3 young women who, under tragic circumstances, see themselves cast away to a Magdalene Asylum for young women in 1964. One of many like institutions, the asylums are run like prisons and young girls are forced to do workhouse laundry and hard labor. The asylum, one of many that existed in theocratic Catholic Ireland, is for supposedly 'fallen' women. Here, young girls are imprisoned indefinitely and endure agonizing punishments and a long, harsh working system which leaves them physically drained and mentally damaged. As the girls bond together, it soon becomes clear that the only way out of the Magdalene convent is to escape, but with twisted Sister Bridget running the wing, any chances seem limited...
