A young girl, Benilde, so protected by her religious family that she seemingly knows nothing about procreation, insists that her mysterious pregnancy is a miracle; however, her distressed bourgeois family decides that Benilde has lost her mind.
Unfortunately the movie Benilde or the Virgin Mother is not yet available on HBO Max.
