Die Päpstin (Pope Joan)
By Sönke Wortmann / Germany, UK, Italy, Spain / 2009 / NC16 / 149
In 814 A.D. Johanna is condemned to life as a woman. Her life seems to be predetermined: work, have children and die young. But Johanna decides to resist – her strict father, the rules of the Church – for the sake of her conviction and her faith. Because she senses that her destiny is a different one, that God is showing her a different path. But the price she will have to pay is a high one.
