LUCID AND STARTLING.
— Justin Chang, Film Comment
An austere, deeply questioning examination of a devout young woman... exquisitely molded...entirely sincere.

Hadewijch, a novice nun, shocks the mother superior of her convent with her ecstatic blind faith, and is kicked out of the order. Hadewijch becomes Celine again, a young Parisian girl and daughter of a diplomat, and is led down dangerous paths in the real world, balancing between grace and madness in her rage and passionate love for God.
