О овом филму

MARIE’S STORY is based on real life events that took place in France in the late 19th century.

Born deaf and blind, Marie Heurtin, aged 14, is incapable of communicating. Despite the advice of a doctor who believes she is “dumb”, Marie’s father, a humble artisan, cannot bring himself to commit her to an asylum. Out of despair, he goes to Larnay Institute near Poitiers, where nuns take care of young deaf women.

Despite the Mother Superior’s scepticism, Sister Marguerite, a young nun, takes this ‘wild little animal’ under her wing and does everything she can to bring her out of her darkness. She will succeed, in spite of some failures and the temptation of discouragement, armed with her joyous faith and love for young Marie. 2014 - ESCAZAL FILMS - FRANCE 3 CINEMA - RHONE-ALPES CINEMA.
