Famous as the patron of hopeless situations, St. Rita of Cascia, a beautiful woman who lived in Italy in the fourteenth century, is immortalized in this wonderful, deeply moving film. Starring Vittoria Belvedere and Martin Crewes, Rita’s story combines high drama, great love, deep betrayal, profound forgiveness, and strong faith.
This story is about the brave woman who married her knight, helped him overcome his dark past and convert to faith, happily bore him two children, and later endured immense pain as she lost everything in her life. She found peace and new hope through the generosity of a nearby convent of sisters, and with their help she developed a deep union with Christ that greatly inspired all around her.
This movie is not rated, but was created with an adult audience in mind. It may contain violence indicative of the life and times of the saint and charactes portrayed. We would recommend parental guidance and that parents preview the film before watching with children.
