In Sister Death, Sister Socorro is one of the two spirits haunting the school. Almudena Amor plays Sister Socorro.
Sister Narcisa discovers Sister Socorro’s picture in a box that she finds in her room. She later figures out that this picture is the one missing from one of the albums in the school, making her curious whether the school is trying to erase Sister Socorro from its history.
After losing Rosa, Sister Narcisa decides to leave the school. It is the day of the eclipse. Sister Narcisa gets down on her knees and stares right at the sun.
When Sister Julia comes to her rescue and touches her, Sister Narcisa sees visions of what happened at the convent during the war, especially with Sister Socorro.
Sister Socorro’s fate
During the war, the soldiers ravaged the convent. Apart from the smashed saints and relics, Sister Narcisa sees how a soldier raped a nun, who is none other than Sister Socorro.
Sister Socorro got pregnant with a baby after that sexual assault and gave birth to a girl. To protect the dignity of their convent, the nuns were determined not to let this news get out or have anyone find out about the girl.
Sister Socorro’s daughter grew up at the convent. When she got sick, she needed to be taken to the hospital. The sisters didn’t allow Socorro to do so. They instead locked Socorro in a cell and tried to treat the child themselves.
In the heat of the moment, they accidentally killed Socorro’s daughter. Socorro realizes what happened and loses the will to live. She then hangs herself to death.
Does Socorro get her revenge?
Socorro and her daughter’s spirit haunts the school. Whoever plays with her daughter or touches her painting gets cursed. After learning the truth, Sister Narcisa understands and hears Socorro.
Narcisa, with her powers, allows Socorro to exact revenge on Mother Superior and Sister Julia, who are responsible for her daughter’s death. Following the deaths of these two nuns, Narcisa sees the union of Socorro and her daughter.
It is hinted that this is the same vision Narcisa saw when she was a child and had become popular as the Holy Girl of Peroblasco.
