"what am i working for? if there is no god, then there can be no soul either. if there is no soul, then you
can't be true, jesus!" wrote mother teresa in her notebook. recently published personal letters and notes
reveal mother teresa's profound spiritual crisis and shake the image of the "pious nun" to its foundations.
how do such sentences fit with the image of the committed missionary, who felt that her work was ordered
by god? how do they fit with the woman in a white sari and worn woollen cardigan who presented herself
to the world as the servant of her lord? are they the cries for help of a physically and spiritually burned
out woman, who hoped to hide her condition from the world in this way, or are they the kind of
experiences that only mystically gifted christians have? mother teresa - who was she really? these
intimate confessions show the moral icon of the 20th century in a different light. the woman who achieved
worldwide recognition for her life among the beggars and dying in the slums of calcutta often felt lonely
and empty inside. she described these experiences as a state of "darkness", which she herself referred to
as a remoteness from god. her life story is unsettling and provocative in equal measure; after all it
touches upon the fundamental questions of human existence: why must we suffer? and why does god let it
happen? - questions that troubled mother teresa throughout her life and which almost broke her. in spite
of this she did not dare to express them openly. this film asks those questions.
