DESCRIPTION

A film biography of Hildegard of Bingen, who lived in the years 1098-1179. As a child she experienced mystic visions and by the time she was 8, she became part of the Benedictine order, where she grew up under the watchful eye of the prioress. Apart from perfecting the spiritual aspects of her life, she developed numerous skills that belonged exclusively in the male domain in the Middle Ages. She swam against the tide in terms of faith as well – especially when she undermined the significance of puristic asceticism. The film’s dramatic axis comprises a conflict between the charismatic nun, along with her followers, and the part of the local community reluctant towards them. The film’s score includes pieces composed by Hildegard of Bingen.
