Hadewijch

Shocked by the blind, ecstatic faith of Hadewijch, a young novice, the mother superior sends her packing from the convent. Hadewijch once again becomes Céline, 20, the daughter of a French minister. Her passionate love of God, her rage and her encounter with Yassine and Nassir lead her, between grace and madness, off along dangerous paths.

Hadewijch is the tale of the dazzling love of a young woman for Christ, her lover. Hadewijch tells the story of people thirsting for the Absolute yet alienated by it. Apprehending the insignificance and pallor of the modern world, they thrash about in a desperate quest for Strength and Truth. They will go to the End and the Beginning, to the extremes where the forces of Good and Evil intermingle. (Verleiher-Text)
