At the beginning of the 21st century, becoming a nun might seem like an extraordinary thing to do. Yet each year in Britain, a small but growing number of young women are giving up careers, boyfriends and everything they own to devote themselves entirely to God. So who are these women, and why are they willingly choosing lives of poverty, chastity and obedience? We follow the journey of Clara, 23, as she leaves university and begins a totally new life in a traditional convent. Subscribe to Parable for more Religious History documentaries!
