Set in Madrid in 1851, “Light of Solitude” is a biopic that centers its story on the origin and beginnings of the religious institution the Servants of Mary. Olga is an only child, works at a law firm and barely has time to take care of her sick father Don Arturo. Despite her progenitor's complaints, Olga asks Sister Inés for help to care for the man.
Mother Soledad Torres Acosta and her Servants of Mary faced all kinds of religious persecutions, epidemics and revolutions. In June 1915, thirty-six Servants of Mary became the first certified nurses in Spain thanks to the Ministry of Public Instruction and Fine Arts.
In 1970, Pope Paul VI canonized Soledad Torres Acosta.
The film premieres today throughout Spain, including Ciudad Rodrigo.
