Thérèse Martin enters the convent of Lisieux with her three sisters at the end of the XIXth century. She is cheerful, open and idealistic. The reality of the convent, her obsession with perfection, the death of her father and the lack of care alter her health. Thérèse fights against both physical suffering and testing of her faith. She died of tuberculosis at 24 and left a notebook which was translated into many languages. There, she explains her "little life". His tomb became a place of pilgrimage. Thérèse Martin, born in 1873 and died at 24 years of age, was canonized in 1927.
