Synopsis

MAGDALENA follows the life of a traditional midwife as she struggles to make ends meet to care for her only daughter, Margie, who is afflicted with leukemia. Unsatisfied by the care provided by hospitals and modern medicine, Magdalena turns to faith healers and unorthodox religious practices. But now that Margie is pregnant, can Magdalena put her faith back on modern medicine and entrust her daughter to the care of doctors?
