Maria Kutschera, Masako Katsuki, lost both her parents at a young age and faced many hardships. At eighteen, returning from her graduation trip from teacher training school, she suddenly decides to become a nun. She travels to Salzburg and visits the strictest convent, Nonnberg Abbey, where she applies and is accepted as a novice. Yet Maria’s cheerful and energetic personality and her indifference toward strict customs gradually make her a problematic presence in the convent, since the nuns expect discipline and proper manners above all. Maria tries to adapt, but she would rather honor her Lord through joy and gratitude for life and everything in it.
