The trailer starts with Sydney Sweeney as Cecilia, a nun who moves to an Italian convent in the countryside. The opening shot of the trailer shows a pair of hands emerging from the wall and grabbing Cecilia’s neck while pulling her whole body, which acts as a jump scare. Following that, Cecilia soon learns that her new home has some secrets.

In the next scene of the trailer, Cecilia discovers that she is pregnant. During the sonogram, she is told by Àlvaro Morte’s character:

“It’s a miracle. You are with child.”

#2 Strange things happen around Cecilia

As the trailer reaches its midpoint, Cecilia sees something strange happening. A woman falling from a building is shown in the background while Cecilia is walking in the corridor. The woman's scream grabs Cecilia’s attention. When she runs to see what has happened, she discovers that the woman is dead.

Cecilia looks at the dead body of the woman. She is puzzled about the woman, who fell from the building. Having no idea about what has happened, she is scared of the situation.


#3 Cecilia is attacked by someone

As the trailer comes to an end, Cecilia questions herself about why she is pregnant. After learning about her pregnancy, some people around her behave strangely toward her.

Following that, she is seen sleeping. But she is not alone in the room. A woman is seen holding scissors in her hand while looking at Cecilia. This shocks Cecilia, and suddenly the woman moves to attack her with scissors.

As the woman tries to attack Cecilia, she runs toward the door while screaming for help. In the next scene, she is seen escaping the building.
