Shocked by the ecstatic and blind faith of Hadewijch, a novice, the Mother Superior casts her out from the convent. Hadewijch becomes Céline again, a young Parisian and diplomat’s daughter. Her loving passion for God, her anger, and her encounter with Yassine and Nassir lead her, between grace and madness, to dangerous territory.
