    Desc: Les ailes blanches: Directed by Robert Péguy. With Gaby Morlay, Jacques Dumesnil, Marcelle Géniat, Jacques Baumer. Sister Claire is a nun who, besides praying God, devotes her time and energy to saving "lost girls". When Siméon, a widower, failed composer and music-hall pianist, comes to the convent to tune the harmonium, he tells her how hard it has been for him to raise his three daughters alone. And how angry he is just now with Lucette, the eldest of the three. The girl is indeed pregnant by her seducer. Hearing that, he nun suddenly remembers her own case: four decades earlier, as she was still Claire Lebourg, she too went through the pains of an unachieved love story and marriage, luckily without falling pregnant. Taking the veil and helping wretched creatures had managed to heal her distress. She will of course support Lucette in her ordeal, doing everything to spare her an abortion or a suicide. And she will see to it that she obtains forgiveness from her father as well as a warm return under his roof.
