Something To Believe In

Maggie, a pretty young actress, learns on the very same day she is offered her first film role that she has incurable cancer and only has very little time left to live. But Maggie is religious and decides to battle against the illness. Completely self-reliant, she sets off for Italy, to the "weeping Madonna" of Trevino.

 

Her firm belief in God and the love for a young musician she meets on the journey gives her the strength to fight against the illness. And at the end she is healed by a miracle.
