Directed by acclaimed filmmaker, Anne Fontaine (Coco Avant Chanel), The Innocents is based on actual events and set in Poland at the end of World War 2. It tells the story of Mathilde, a young doctor at a Red Cross hospital, who responds to a desperate plea from a nun and breaks protocol to visit a local Benedictine convent, where she is shocked to find a nun in the midst of a complicated labour and several more in various stages of pregnancy. As she uncovers the truth of what happened, she begins the demanding task of caring for these women, whilst navigating the reluctance of the wary Mother Superior, who wants to keep the events that brought her charges to this situation, a secret from the outside world.
