DramaHistory

Hildegard von Bingen was truly a woman ahead of her time. A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist and ecological activist.

VIBE

A quiet, deeply spiritual journey into the mind of a remarkable woman. It feels like a hushed pilgrimage, exploring faith and intellect against a backdrop of medieval austerity. Meditative and visually rich.
