Summary/Abstract: This film is about the practical consequences of the Christian faith. The focus here, therefore, is not the Pope, but life in abundance, a good life as the fundamental right of all on this earth. However, some scenes of the film address the wounds of the world that he sees on his travels, and the spectators accompany him on these apostolic journeys in the universal Church. When church practice follows a logic of Incarnation, it can lead the Church out of herself. This theology of the Pope is also evident in the film.
