1948, Calcutta. Teresa (Noomi Rapace), the headmistress of the prestigious St. Mary’s convent school, finds herself on the edge of a spiritual and moral abyss. When her closest confidante confesses to being pregnant and the Vatican stalls her request to serve the poor, Teresa refuses to wait any longer. Casting off her traditional habit, she plunges into the city's grime alone—without money, status, or support.
This is the story of seven transformative days. It is not the tale of a hollow icon from a holy picture, but of an unbreakable fighter who becomes a "mother" to those the world has abandoned. A gripping biographical drama capturing the most fateful and defiant week in the life of the woman who would change history – mother Teresa.
Movie in English with subtitles in Latvian and Russian.
