Nine-year-old Francesco, who is struggling with his parents’ divorce, has an unusual and unlikely dream: to sing for the pope in the Sistine Chapel. The 81-year-old pope on the other hand has his own ambitions: to defend the traditions of the Catholic Church in today’s society. We follow both characters in their everyday activities while they attempt to realize their greatest wish. With heavenly choir singing as its soundtrack, this film offers a moving picture of the determination of a boy with a dream as well as an enlightening look at the hidden world of the Vatican.
