## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A light, frothy comedy that asks: what if gangsters dressed as nuns? Two criminals on the run from other criminals and the police hide out in a convent, posing as sisters. Naturally, it's as silly as it sounds, and probably exactly what you'd expect.

**Mood tags**: pitch-black, playful
