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 alI. Immediately they are put back to work, where they are exploited by brutaI locaI Iandowners, which is the cue for a group of free-thinking students to try to galvanize the Iocals into forming unions and voting for their nascent socialist party in the forthcoming elections (historicaIly, the first free elections to be held in ltaIy). This does not go down well with the status quo, however, and Padre Pio's fiery quarreIs with his faith act as a kind of mood music, creating an ominous tone for the final showdown when the eIection results come in. |
