Synopsis
Thomas est un toxicomane de vingt-deux ans. Pour guérir de sa dépendance à l'héroïne, il rejoint une communauté d'anciens jeunes drogués qui lui proposent un changement de vie radical pour le sortir de la drogue notamment en le privant de cigarettes, d'alcool, de télévision mais aussi en l'isolant du monde extérieur et des filles. Désormais, pour redevenir un jeune homme normal, il devra se soigner par la prière et le travail. Dans ce nouveau monde, il découvre l'amour, l'amitié et la foi. Égaré en montagne, il se retrouve miraculeusement et décide de se faire ordonner prêtre. Mais, sur la route du séminaire, il décide finalement de rejoindre Sibylle, la jeune fille avec qui il a eu une brève aventure.Actors

Gary Hook, a new recruit to the British Army, takes leave of his much younger brother Darren. Hook's squad of British soldiers is sent to Belfast in 1971 in the early years of The Troubles. Under the leadership of the inexperienced Lieutenant Armitage, his squad goes to a volatile area of Belfast where Catholic Nationalists and Protestant Loyalists live side by side. The unit provides support for the Royal Ulster Constabulary as it inspects homes for firearms, shocking Hook with their rough treatment of women and children. The Catholic neighbourhood has been alerted to the activity and a crowd gathers to protest and provoke the British troops who, though heavily armed, can only respond by trying to hold the crowd back.

The story centers on a young woman named Percy (Alison Elliott) who was recently released from prison. She arrives in a small town in Maine with hopes of beginning a new life. She lands a job as a waitress in the Spitfire Grill, owned by Hannah (Ellen Burstyn), whose gruff exterior conceals a kind heart and little tolerance for the grill's regular customers who are suspicious of Percy's mysterious past. None is more suspicious than Nahum, Hannah's nephew, although his wife, Shelby, has a kinder curiosity.

Il s'agit de l'histoire vraie et puissante d'un leader spirituel charismatique qui a contribué à faire tomber le communisme, à renouveler la vie de l'Église, à insuffler aux jeunes du monde entier l'amour du Christ, et d'un pape qui a tendu la main aux autres religions et aux dirigeants du monde entier avec un message de paix et d'amour. Le film met également en vedette Raoul Bova (Saint François), Michele Placido (Padre Pio : Between Heaven and Earth) et Adriana Asti dans le rôle de Mère Teresa.

The film opens with a quotation from the Book of Psalms, Psalm 82:6–7: "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." The monks' peaceful routine of prayer, medical assistance, and community interaction is soon interrupted by the threat of an Islamic fundamentalist group. When their elected leader, Christian (Lambert Wilson), declines the protection of the corrupt civil authority, the monks divide amongst themselves on the question of whether to stay or flee Algeria. Before a decision is reached, a group of fundamentalists, led by Ali Fayattia, enters the monks' compound in force on Christmas Eve and demands their doctor and his medical supplies. Christian refuses their requests and cites the Quran as proof of the monks' goodwill. With a mixture of surprise and respect, Fayattia leaves the compound and grants it his protection until his capture, torture and death at the hands of government forces. Despite the growing danger, the monks come to consensus on the moral importance of maintaining their committed lives with, and ministry to, the local population, even when faced with violence and death. Ultimately, the terrorists seize most of the monks during a nighttime raid and hold them hostage. As the captive monks trudge a snowy path towards a grim fate, the film concludes with the spiritual testament of prior Christian de Chergé, bravely written in the face of death.
