Right from the beginning,
we are introduced to Mary, daughter of Joachim and Anne. Soon
after, we meet Mary Magdalene, her close friend. In a unique
twist, the story follows their two journeys, one into the
heart of God, and the other into the heart of darkness. The
more Mary sings her Magnificat, the more Magdalene throws
herself at the world seeking love, power and validation. The
two threads finally come full circle with Magdalene’s
conversion at the feet of Christ, and her ultimate reward at
seeing Christ the first at the Resurrection. Caught in between
these opposites, Magdalene vacillates as the flighty-headed,
desperate and world-loving protégé of Herodias. After
witnessing her mother’s stoning at the beginning of the film,
the punishment for adultery, Magdalene throws all caution and
morality to the winds, nurturing a hatred for men, and at the
same time, cultivating seduction to fill her heart’s need for
a true man. It isn’t long before she has two deaths on her
conscience, and unable to stand the crushing weight of life at
court, she flees to a brothel and ends up repeating her
mother’s last scene, a public stoning. It is then that Christ
appears, invites the non-sinners to throw first, and forgives
her.
