“A Silvia la dejaron salir porque había tenido intentos de suicidio”: el relato de una excarmelita que inspiró a Cautiva

The miniseries "Cautiva" has brought renewed public attention to the case of the Carmelo de Nogoyá, an Argentine monastery in Entre Ríos where former superior Luisa Toledo was convicted of the unlawful deprivation of liberty.

An ex-Carmelite nun whose account inspired the production revealed that a fellow nun, Silvia, was permitted to leave the monastery only after experiencing suicide attempts.
