Agnes

The 13th century. Royal princesses in Europe are nothing but goods for sale. Little Agnes of Bohemia is taken to Vienna to be brought up for her groom. But her marriage is called off. In the forest, humiliated Agnes experiences the power of transcendence. She decides to live her own life. She refuses to marry a cultivated and appealing emperor. She builds her convent and a hospital. She believes in the Franciscan philosophy, in terrestrial life, Arabic medicine, in God and in herself. She dominates her surroundings and she can foresee the future. By the humbleness and force of spirit, Agnes turns into light and peace.
