La storia di una monaca (1959)
Belgio, anni 30. La giovane Gabrielle Van Der Mal, figlia di un noto medico, lascia il fidanzato e la sua casa -nonostante i dubbi che il padre cerca di insinuarle- per abbracciare la vita religiosa con l'intenzione di diventare una suora infermiera per recarsi in una missione in Congo. Preso il nome di suor Lucia, fin da subito Gabrielle entra in conflitto con la sua forte personalità, quasi ribelle, e il desiderio di abbracciare in pieno la regola per diventare una suora perfetta: dopo un primo periodo di ambientamento frequenta la scuola di medicina tropicale di Anversa, dove si distingue per la sua eccellente attitudine allo studio della medicina, fortemente influenzata dalla sua ammirazione per il padre.
