Set in 1945, The Innocents follows Mathilde, a French Red Cross doctor, who is on a mission to aid survivors of the German camps in Poland. One day, she is approached by a nun at a local convent seeking medical assistance. To Mathilde's shock, she discovers that multiple nuns are pregnant, a scandalous revelation within the walls of their strict religious community.
As Mathilde strives to provide medical care to the pregnant nuns, she finds herself entangled in a web of secrets and forbidden desires. The film delves into the complex dynamics of faith, duty, and compassion as Mathilde navigates the moral challenges presented by the unnerving situation at the convent.
The Innocents explores themes of trauma, resilience, and the human capacity for both cruelty and kindness in the aftermath of war. This poignant and thought-provoking film offers a compelling glimpse into the lives of those affected by the atrocities of World War II, revealing the enduring power of hope and solidarity in the face of unimaginable hardship.
