Mary Magdalene

Synopsis

Mary is a young woman in search of a new way of living. Constricted by the hierarchies of the day, Mary defies her traditional family to join a new social movement led by the charismatic Jesus of Nazareth. She soon finds a place for herself within the movement and at the heart of a journey that will lead to Jerusalem.
An authentic and humanistic portrait of Mary Magdelene, one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood spiritual figures in history.
