Returning to her former life, Hadewijch reverts to being Celine, a Parisienne and daughter of a French government minister. Her passion for God, her rage and her encounters with Yassine and Nassir lead Celine -- who finds herself between states of divine grace and madness --down dangerous paths. This is about a young girl’s blind love for Christ -- about those who feel drawn to and alienated by the Almighty. It is also a present-day account of the desperate desire to love and be loved. *If you’d like to know more about this iconic French director, please read the interview that was conducted at FICM 2009. /en/news.php?id=945
