Between Miracles

As a boy Benedetto walks away from an accident without a scratch on the day of his first communion. The villagers take it for a miracle and give the child a severe religious upbringing. That decision shapes the whole of his life. As he grows, two things inside him keep colliding: on one side the sacrifice his faith demands, on the other the desires he cannot give up. He spends his life moving between sin and grace, believing and quarrelling with what he believes at the same time. Nino Manfredi both directs and takes the lead, alongside Lionel Stander, Delia Boccardo and Mariangela Melato. It is told as a comedy, but what it is really about is what faith costs the person who holds it.
