Synopsis
End of the XIXth Century. After her sisters Pauline and Mariey had already entered, Thérèse Martin had the greatest difficulty in being admitted to the Carmel of Lisieux. She achieves this by raising her appeal to the Pope. First accompanied by her youngest, and closest friend, Céline, she finds herself there more alone when the latter returns to the fold to take care of a widowed father gradually won over by a mute and chagrin madness. Over the days, she kept recorded in a diary the facts and gestures of a "little life" devoted to a holiness that only Christ, her husband, would be able to see and estimate. She starts coughing up blood. Céline returns to the monastery. Thérèse dies of tuberculosis. “Shortly after her death, Thérèse's notebook was published. It is translated into several languages. His tomb becomes a place of pilgrimage. She was declared a saint and canonized in 1925.
