Mary Magdalene

The first century of our era. A young girl leaves her small fishing village and family full of traditions to join a completely new social movement. Her relatives do not understand her at all, believing that she disgraces their family and that she is possessed by a demon. The leader of this movement is a charismatic man named Jesus of Nazareth, who promises that the world will change. Maria is looking for a new life path for herself. Many already know about the Jesus group, and the Roman Empire authorities absolutely do not approve of their activities. As many know, the path of Jesus was quite tragic, but even more tragic was the fate of Mary Magdalene, who was by her mentor's side until the last moments and was one of the first to learn about his resurrection.
