the synopsis
In a desolate neighborhood on the Roman outskirts, Christian (Edoardo Pesce) earns his living doing the only thing he knows how to do: beating. He does it for the local boss, Lino (Giordano De Plano), a sort of older adoptive brother because he grew up with the same woman, Italy (Lina Sastri). The latter now suffers from Alzheimer’s and lives with Christian who looks after her. One day, Christian’s hands start to ache and bleed: they are stigmata, even if he, forced from the suburbs, does not realize it. The stigmata soon become a problem, also because they prevent him from doing his job, that of “leading his hands”. Through them he miraculously saves the neighborhood junkie Rachele (Silvia D’Amico) from an overdose, who clings to him to invite him to change his life, since apparently he can cure people.
Christian’s powers attract the attention of Matthew (Claudio Santamaria), a Vatican postulator who is obsessed with finding someone whose thaumaturgical powers are true. But above all, Christian’s great power draws Lino’s attention: not only because Christian can no longer do his job, but because Christian saves people, and this could undermine the foundations of his reign.
CHRISTIAN – From 28 January 2022 on Sky and streaming on NOW
