Hannah Levi is a Jewish midwife in Venice. A count implores her to help his wife through a difficult labor but she is prohibited by an edict forbidding Jews to render medical treatment to Christians. But the money he offers is enough to ransom her beloved husband. And can she refuse her duty to help this suffering woman?
