Plot:	Alain Cavalier's landmark film depicts the true life story of St. Thérèse de Lisleux, a young woman who found personal joy and spiritual liberation within the restrictive traditions of an austere religious order.
Overview:	Winner of eight Cesar Awards, including Best Film and Best Director, Alain Cavalier's monumental film depicts the true story of St. Therese de Lisieux, a young woman who found personal joy and spiritual liberation within the restrictive traditions of an austere religious order. Wishing to dedicate her life to Christ, Therese (Catherine Mouchet) enters a cloistered convent of Carmelite nuns at the age of fifteen. But shortly after joining the order, she finds her devotion to the Lord tested by a grim battle against the debilitating effects of tuberculosis, for which she refuses any treatment. The strength of her faith eventually becomes an inspiration to both her fellow sisters and the millions of admirers who remember her as "The Little Flower Of Jesus".
