This poignant film, directed by Dietrich Brüggemann, follows the journey of a 14-year-old girl named Maria, who is deeply committed to her faith and strives to emulate the life of Jesus through the 14 Stations of the Cross. The narrative is structured around these stations, each representing a chapter in Maria’s life as she navigates the challenges of her strict religious upbringing. The film’s unique storytelling approach and powerful performances, particularly by Lea van Acken in the lead role, have garnered critical acclaim. It was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Script at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival. For those interested, the movie can be viewed for free on 123Movies / Movies123.
