This téléfilm film on the life of Mary, Joseph's wife and Jesus' mother, from the conception of Jesus to the Assumption into heaven at the side of her son, is a biblical story. That means, it follows the texts of the Holy Scriptures to the letter. A couple of scenes are taken from apocryphal writings. It's the very human story of a village woman called to a transcendental task: to be the mother of God. The mystical experiences, difficult to film are approached with humanity. There is no exaggerated sentimentality. The plot follows the life of Jesus as mentioned in the Gospels. Nice historical reconstruction of the sites, the costumes and the customs.

Love this film! It fills in all the gaps regarding the child Mary, and her parents taking her to the temple to be blessed, her school years, meeting Joseph, falling in love and marrying him, having the child Jesus, raising their son Jesus together, the sad death of Joseph, the friends and apostles of Jesus, betrayal by Judas, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the death of Mary.

This wonderful movie should be titled, "The Life and Death of Mary" and should be shown at theaters nationwide, and sold on DVD.
