Catherine Mouchet stars in this film as St. Therese de Lisleux, the Carmelite nun who died young from tuberculosis. Dreaming to become a Carmelite nun since she was a child, Therese was at first denied admission to the strict order. However, after taking her case all the way to the pop, Therese finally obtained admission. Unfortunately, it was not until after she died and her journals were published that Therese`s remarkable life inside the convent became public knowledge.
Alan Cavalier`s film objectively tells Therese`s story and, though it looks in awe at a girl whose love for Jesus is so passionate, does not glorify or criticize the saint. Instead it tells the story plainly and, with the help of Catherine Mouchet`s performance as Therese, provides a tremendously affecting look at the life of an extraordinary young woman.
