The Sisters (die Schwestern) - Trailer

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence - The Film.




With the appearance of bearded men in nuns costumes, collecting money for the needy members of the gay community, the Sistory of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence started in San Francisco at Easter 1979.
Since than, the Sisters have developed a wide network of Houses and Orders in numerous countries. They support gay, lesbian and transgender organisations as well as Aids projects.
The film makers Manfred Hoschek and Sigrid Smejkal tell the story of the Sisters and show problems and challenges in the sisters private lives.
Doing good in nuns habits the Sisters often face hostility, especially in Catholic countries, which is exemplified by a visit to Uruguay. The question as to why the Hermanitas and other orders still stick to the symbol of the nun will be answered by the members of the South American House.
The Sisters were the first to publish a worldwide Safer Sex pamphlet using plain language, practical advice and humour and the first to organise a charity event to raise Aids awareness when the illness was still widely unknown.
Their white faces symbolise death, contrasted with the bright colours of life and joy. Some of the Sisters are HIV+ themselves and by telling the story of the Sisters Hoschek and Smejkal are telling the story of Aids.
