Triumph of the Heart is a moving drama based on the true story of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe, a Franciscan friar who gave his life for a fellow prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp. American director Anthony D'Ambrosio's film begins where most stories about Father Kolbe end: on death row. And although flashbacks revisit important moments in St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe's life, it is in this confined space that the most poignant story of the saint's final days unfolds, presented with extraordinary sensitivity and spiritual depth.
