【Storyline or Review】
# Synopsis
The country girl, prostitute and follower of Christ to whom Christ chooses to appear after rising from the dead.
A life characterized by passion, cruelty, sensuality and atrocious vendettas interweaves with the lives of the most important protagonists of her time: John the Baptist, Herodias and Salomé.
Having used her charm to seduce the Roman prefect Silvanus and experience a great love story with General Vitellius, she is saved by a meeting with Christ.
Thanks to her faith in Christ, Mary Magdalen discovers that love is stronger than death and sin and that she, a sinner, has loved and therefore will be saved.
# Reviews
When the marriage between AMOS and MARY MAGDALENE turns out to be childless, he casts her out and gets a divorce. Mary has to leave Magdala. She befriends SILVANO, a Roman prefect, who promises her a new life at his side. A few days after her departure Mary meets the prophet JOHN THE BAPTIST, whom Silvano suspects of being a revolutionary. The prefect tells her to cultivate John more intensively. In this way Mary becomes acquainted with the teaching of the coming Messiah, and it begins to interest her. To protect John from the Romans she pretends to Silvano that he is harmless # but when the prefect finds out that how dangerous John is in the eyes of the tetrarch HEROD ANTIPAS, he feels he was wronged and purposely tricked by Mary. He casts her out as well. After a suicide attempt, Mary lowers herself to prostitution. HEROIDAS, the wife of Herod Antipas, invites Mary to come to her because of her knowledge of the healing arts. In this way she gets to know SALOME, who later asks for the Baptist's head. Mary is also drawn into the war for Galilee, in the course of which her home town of Magdala goes up in flames. She tries in vain to save the life of SAMUEL, the son of her friend JOANNA. He dies in her arms. She then takes him to JESUS # who brings him back to life. Mary recognizes Jesus as the Messiah, and becomes one of his disciples.
