Article summary: 

The Coptic Church has produced a film about Joachim and Anna, the Virgin Mary’s parents. The film is based on a book written by Yawāqīn Sanī Yacqūb, the priest of Virgin Mary, Joachim, and Anna Church in Minya.

The film depicts the Jewish conception of sterile people. It also reflects Jewish persecution under the Roman occupation.

The little information available about Joachim and Anna represented a problem to the film. Therefore, he resorted to several subplots.
