Screening in the original French version with German subtitles

Maria Montessori is one of the greatest women in history. Her pedagogical approach is still revolutionary today. The moving drama by French director Léa Todorov, MARIA MONTESSORI, tells Maria Montessori's dramatic life and love story in large cinematic images. She was one of Italy's first female medical students, specialized in the field of paediatrics and fought tirelessly throughout her life against social resistance to help disadvantaged children and offer them a perspective for a better life. The multi-award-winning Italian actress Jasmine Trinca (FORTUNA) brings the philosopher and pedagogue to life with great emotional intensity. (Source: distributor)
