SYNOPSIS
LUCA is a 12-year-old boy from San Giovanni Rotondo (southern Italy). He’s smart, sharp, and determined. After visiting the church and museum of Padre Pio, he tells his parents about his plan to conduct an investigation among the people who knew Padre Pio, in order to collect their testimonies and write a book. LUCA will have the help of his friend SEBASTIANO, afflicted by his family situation.
Who was Padre Pio?
Padre Pio was a holy Capuchin friar from the city of Pietrelcina, in Southern Italy who lived his ministry in San Giovanni Rotondo. He died in 1968. For fifty years he carried the wounds (stigmata) of Jesus Christ on his hands, feet and side. He had extraordinary gifts: he could read the minds and souls of everybody who approached him (their past and their future). He performed many incredible miracles in life. Today thousands of devotees around the world come to his intercession. With the offerings sent from all over the world, Padre Pio constructed one of the largest hospitals in Europe, which he inaugurated in 1956.
