Set in the aftermath of World War II, the quietly powerful drama “The Innocents” shows women of faith working side by side with nonbelievers to bring light to a dark, horrifying world. Based on the experience of Red Cross doctor Madeleine Pauliac, the movie opens in December 1945, as a Benedictine nun desperately seeks help from a French Red Cross dispensary in Warsaw.
