Summary:
This powerful epic depicts the life of Fr. Carlo Gnocchi, an Italian priest who labored heroically to minister to the wounded and dying soldiers during World War II, and to victims of the war on the home front. While teaching students at the Gonzaga Institute in Milan, Fr. Gnocchi volunteers to be the military chaplain on the war front. After witnessing the horrors of the war, helping many suffering soldiers and miraculously escaping death, he returned to start a foundation for the many children who were victims of the war.
