A community of nuns who run an orphanage for girls decides to get motorized and they buy a Citroën 2CV. Sister Tomasa, an impulsive and outgoing nun who has just arrived to the community, is the one to learn to drive. At first she is not very good at it, jeopardizing traffic on several occasions, so she is nicknamed "Sor Citroën" ("Sister Citroën"). When she finally gets the driving license, she dedicates together with Sister Rafaela to drive through the streets of Madrid asking for charity for the orphanage.
Shooting locations included Madrid,Alcalá de Henares[1] andLa Robla (León).[2]
The film had to deal during production withFrancoist film censors. A scene that was showing the nuns having soup in therefectory while one of them recites the traffic laws was cut off as inappropriate.[3]
