[4] Danila, an art student in Italy, visits an abandoned, deconsecrated church to view life-size wooden sculptures of the crucifixion uncovered there.

That night, Danila attends a house party held by her parents, where she witnesses her mother engaging in sadomasochistic sex in one of the bedrooms with Mario, her lover.

After being sedated, Danila dreams of driving with her parents into the countryside, during which their car has a tire blowout near an abandoned cathedral.

Her parents summon a doctor, who finds stigmata on Danila's hands; however, the wounds miraculously disappear the next day.

Sequestered in the mothers superior's quarters, Danila is approached by Father Xeno, a priest, and she attempts to seduce and fellate him.
