Die Bettelprophetin

Beggar, Sunder, Prophetess. In Upper Swabia during the Biedermeier period, a child is born: Theres Ludwig comes into the world on the street, as the daughter of a vagabond. Torn away from her mother at a very young age, the sensitive girl grows up in an orphanage. Misery and poverty accompany Theres' life. She struggles to make a living with hard work as a maid. When she desperately curses God and the church, a priest is sent to her. The young cleric is supposed to exorcise the devil from her. But then the tide turns: Theres experiences miraculous apparitions of Mary. At the same time, her heart opens to love. A love that could not be more forbidden - and yet seems to be reciprocated.
