Benedetta

Set in the late 17th century and inspired by true events, Benedetta follows a young woman who joins a convent in Pescia, Tuscany as a plague ravages the land that surrounds it. Capable of performing miracles from an early age, Benedetta’s impact on life in the community is immediate and momentous. Shaking the Church to its very core with her shocking religious visions, violent acts of devotion and forbidden love affair with fellow novice nun Bartolomea, Benedetta is a wild, violent, often slyly humorous and explosive historical drama.
