Magdalene

In a quaint Austrian town, a dedicated priest forges an unexpected connection with a compassionate prostitute, endeavoring to alter her path and find forgiveness, while navigating the intricacies of love and ethics.

In this romantic drama, a young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, falls in love with a prostitute, Magdalene, while trying to reform her life. As their feelings grow, Mohr grapples with his duty to God and his love for Magdalene. Meanwhile, his corrupt superior tries to discredit Mohr by falsely accusing him of misconduct, but ultimately fails. Amidst the turmoil, Mohr and a local teacher, Franz Gruber, create the iconic hymn "Silent Night".
