Anna Maria (Maria Hofstätter) is a middle-aged Austrian woman who lives alone in a well-knitted house in Vienna. When she doesn't work in the hospital, she cleans her house thoroughly. But she doesn't feel alone; she has Jesus; she loves Jesus. This unconditional love of God empowers her to overcome the temptations of her flesh, by praying and by methodically using all sorts of self-punishments.
