Sister Emmanuelle, age 98 and firm in her convictions, takes a humorous and serene look back on her outstanding life helping the humble. In her mouth, words such as brotherhood, solidarity, poverty, justice and rebellion take on their true meaning. From the shantytowns of Cairo, where she lived for more than 20 years, to the television studios that made her a media figure, Sister Emmanuelle wins our confidence with her straight-talking manner. Using simple and just words, she shares her vision of the world. She tells us how laughter and human warmth transcend misfortune, how religion is a secret garden, how tenacity can perform miracles, how death and eternity can meet in a "great chasm of love." A lesson in life and courage that warms the heart and provides the energy to continue life’s struggles.
