Hadewijch follows Céline van Hadewijch, a young woman who leaves her convent after being asked to do so. She returns to Paris and reconnects with Yassine Chikh, an old Muslim friend of hers. Despite telling him she has dedicated herself to God and will remain celibate, Céline spends more time with Yassine. Yassine introduces Céline to his brother Nassir Chikh, who is a religious leader and, unbeknownst to Céline, a terrorist. Nassir invites Céline to participate in his seminars, seeing her as a potential tool for his cell due to her naiveté.
