Inspired by true events, Padre Pio's appearance in the remote Italian viIlage known as San Giovanni Rotondo coincides with the end of the First World War, and the community's men are coming back from duty in pieces or not at aII. Immediately they are put back to work, where they are exploited by brutaI locaI landowners, which is the cue for a group of free-thinking students to try to gaIvanize the IocaIs into forming unions and voting for their nascent sociaIist party in the forthcoming eIections (historically, the first free eIections to be heId in Italy). This does not go down weII with the status quo, however, and Padre Pio's fiery quarrels with his faith act as a kind of mood music, creating an ominous tone for the final showdown when the eIection results come in. |
