Synopsis:

Teresa de Cepeda y Ahumada, the daughter of a hidalgo from Avila, does not accept the destiny that is presupposed for her: to marry a gentleman. She enters a cloistered convent and from within these walls she starts a crusade of prayer and sacrifice that makes here into a rebel and a madwoman first but then later into a leader and finally a saint. This is the chronicle of a unique woman at a difficult time, of an exceptional woman who was never a martyr, of a beautiful, strong woman who made history

A different and provocative film that transports us to the life of St. Theresa of Avila, a vivacious and attractive woman who founded the closed order of the Discalced Carmelites.
