Virginie Sauveur started her course in film after graduating from ESRA. Joining K'ien Productions in 1998 as a production assistant, Sauveur swiftly pivoted towards screenwriting, showcasing a natural talent that captured industry attention. In 2001, Arte recognized her potential, granting Sauveur the opportunity to write and direct Quelques Jours Entre Nous in 2003. The film went on to win Grand Prize at Luchon IFF. Virginie has directed multiple TV Movies, and series. Magnificat is her debut feature.
When an elderly priest dies, the people in charge of his diocese discovered that it was a woman. Without anyone suspecting it, she had been practising her vocation for years. Dismayed, the bishop decided to launch an investigation and asked the chancellor of the diocese to find out how, why and with what complicity such a deception was possible.
