‘The Little Hours’ Film: A Jeff Baena’s Adaptation Featuring Nuns Gone Wild

"The Little Hours" is a film by Jeff Baena which is adapted from the famous movie "The Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio. It is a movie with medieval content comedy about nuns. The film bestows about the notions of nuns as prim and proper old maids who spend their days praying yet are rude and repressed young women with raging hormones and are curios of all things that are forbidden.

In the film, the production has used an unapologetically raunchy comedic strategy which also has combined casting of hilarious actress like Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, and Kate Micucci as oversexed sisters. On this film adaptation, the nuns are sounding like trio of Valley girls dressed in medieval habits while trading gossips instead of using European accents and speaking like old-timely English, as per Variety.

The film will also feature the sisters who are using languages like boring, homesexual, and other words that are not acceptable to other countries. Baena was studying about the film in NYU and later had found out himself experimenting stories about sexual transgression in Middle Ages. He has learned lessons like most, if not all nuns are sexually misfits. Some others are divorcees, unwed mothers, and unmarriageable daughters which entrusted themselves into church care.

Further, the film will feature Sister Alessandra being a spoiled brat while stuck in a convent; Sister Ginevra who is a busybody and is constantly sticking her nose to other people's lives and Sister Fernanda who is a party goer. They are not your ordinary young nuns, as per Hollywood Reporter.

"The Little Hour" story will revolve around the convent whose nuns are ready to do something that breaks their commitment and vows. Among the nuns, Sister Alessandra has been working hard at the embroidery while waiting for her rich father to help her get married.
