Pious girl Paraskeva leaves her life in Constantinople and spends 40 years in the Jordan desert, fighting sin, temptation and inner demons. We follow her path from an ordinary girl to one of the most beloved female Saints in Christianity. Beside the main story, we see relations between Christians and Muslims in the 10th century. A side story shows how two women (a Bedouin Arab girl Zaineb and Paraskeva) from different cultural, social and religious backgrounds share the same human emotions, values, love and friendship with their pure hearts. It is also a story about how people can overcome their own weaknesses. The themes of the film are universal moral questions of mankind, and that makes it relevant today anywhere in the world.
