Ave Maria - Van Dienstmaagd des Heren tot Koningin van de Hemel plot
Mary of Nazareth is one of the most famous female figures in world history. Yet little is known about her life. Nouchka van Brakel wanted to know more. Who was this woman? And what does it mean to people today? In Ave Maria, the filmmaker goes in search of myth and reality, of the stories of people who venerate Mary all over the world and who can give her a face. Ave Maria is a personal quest for a special woman. A search for the emotions and motives of all those people who venerate Mary today. Concepts such as forgiveness, comfort and healing are given a contemporary interpretation in the film, but also themes such as virginity, motherhood, miracle work and worship are discussed.
