CELINE MARTIN
Céline Martin is an artist, and an extroverted, carefree spirit, the exact opposite of her introverted sister. The two girls are inseparable as children, and Céline, three years older, is the leader. That all changes when Thérèse experiences her Christmas conversion, and grows up in an instant. Céline is left behind to care for their ailing father when her younger sister heads for the monastery at the age of 15. She, like all the Martin sisters, finally enters the monastery after her father's death, where she takes remarkable photographs of Carmelite life.

I thought, 'Wow, a script that revolves around women. Where do I sign up?' And I loved the emotional depth I saw in the characters -- particularly Céline and Pauline."
