Overview
In 1858 Lourdes, France, Bernadette, an adolescent peasant girl, has a vision of "a beautiful lady" in the city dump. She never claims it to be anything other than this, but the townspeople all assume it to be the Virgin Mary. The pompous government officials think she is nuts, and do their best to suppress the girl and her followers, and the church wants nothing to do with the whole matter. But as Bernadette attracts wider and wider attention, the phenomenon overtakes everyone in the the town, and transforms their lives.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditative spiritual biography that follows an ordinary girl swept into extraordinary circumstances, watching as her sincere faith becomes the town's obsession and her burden. It's a film about the weight of belief and the loneliness of being seen as a vessel rather than a person.
