The Innocents
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Anne Fontaine (Coco Avant Chanel, Nathalie, Gemma Bovery), The Innocents is based on actual events and set in Poland at the end of world War 2. It tells the story of Mathilde, a young doctor at a Red Cross hospital, who responds to a desperate plea to visit a local Benedictine convent, where she is shocked to find a nun in the midst of labour and several more in various stages of pregnancy. As she uncovers the truth of what happened, she begins the demanding task of caring for these women, whilst navigating the reluctance of the wary Mother Superior, who wants to keep the events that brought her charges to this situation, a secret from the outside world.
The Innocents chronicles a largely forgotten piece of history based on the astonishing true experiences of Madeleine Pauliac and deals with complex issues of war and faith. It's one of those films that stays in your mind, long after you've seen it.
