Set near the Jura mountains, it tells of Beatrix, a young nun grappling with earthly desires and spiritual vows. Two centuries after a saintly widow founds a convent, Beatrix, its caretaker, falls for Raymond, a wounded nobleman. This forbidden love challenges her commitment to Mary, leading her on an emotional journey.
