Plot


During the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, Pope Paul reflects about his life:
As the young priest don Battista Montini, he studies French philosophers with students (some of them would found the Christian Democracy) in spite of the Fascist pressure.
He is called to serve the Papal curia of Pius XII in Rome.
He watches how the Holy See and Fascist Italy sign the 1929 Concordat.
He tries to protect the victims of Fascism and Allied bombing during the World War.
He is sent as bishop of Milan, the biggest diocese.
There he approaches the workers and the poor, who feel the Church is far from them, in a campaign of mission for a "civilization of love".
He is made a cardinal by Pope John XXIII.
He is called to participate in the Second Vatican Council.
After the pope's death, he is elected the new pope.
He follows the work of the council.
The encyclicals he issues have uneasy receptions.
Populorum Progressio is taken by some to encourage armed revolution against tyranny.
This includes Roberto, a young rebel man, son of a family friends of Montini.
Roberto argues with his parents and becomes more and more radicalized.
Pope Paul becomes a travelling pope.
He pilgrims to Jordan-administered Jerusalem, where he tries to bridge with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
In the Holy Land, the pope consoles an Arab Christian bed-ridden old man.
Humane Vitae disappoints those who expect the Church to accept a more modern view of sexuality.
