Product Overview
Bernard Guillaumet, a non-Christian French journalist, is assigned the job of doing a story on Lourdes in the late 1990s. Just before he leaves for Lourdes, he learns that his wife is pregnant and this pregnancy could put her life at risk—and that doctors are suggesting a possible abortion.
While researching for his report on Lourdes, Bernard comes across the pages of a mysterious old family manuscript.
The manuscript was written by his ancestor, Henri Guillaumet, a positivist scientist and atheist who met Bernadette at Lourdes in 1858, a meeting which profoundly affected Henri and forced him to re-consider the miracles performed following the apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes. The most important miracle he had to reconsider was the healing of his wife who had been on her death bed from tuberculosis, and was completely restored by the miraculous waters from the Lourdes grotto.
This intriguing film uses the pages of the manuscript to trace the stories of three lives - Bernadette, Henri and Bernard, three characters whose lives intertwine according to the designs of Providence. Directed by Lodovico Gasparini (St John Bosco, Don Matteo).
