Around the year 1500, the Italian priest Don Filippo Neri helps street kids and orphans in his poor little chapel. He is no clergyman by the book, but a true believer in terms good and bad and he teaches this to his children. Neri is not very well-seen by the church and his only “friend” is the dry, humorless Ignatius De Loyola. But Neris real counterpart is the devil himself, working in endless incarnations in Neris direct neighborhood, trying to seduce his kids.

lol… my mom has watched this film so many times… like 5 or 4 times… she loves this movie.
Deeply moving. Thanks a lot for making this available. The soundtrack couldn’t have been better. The songwriter, Branduardi, is the man in the movie. He has written many great songs.
