Please note this is a region 2 DVD & will require a region 2 or region free DVD player in order to play A priest (Luca Zingaretti
- Inspector Montalbano) attends his new parish only to find the church empty the locals uninterested & their children rude & abusive He very gently sets about winning over first the children by providing them with a place to play & learn & then works on their parents The church slowly becomes the focal point of the community & very quickly ends up full with standing room only There&s a heavy Mafia presence in the community but the priest stands up to them & encourages his parishioners to do the same He does this effectively & suffers the consequences as the antagonism grows between him & the Mafia Based on a true story the ending is truly heart-rending The acting is superb all round the children in particular are very genuine & believable The character of the priest is in keeping with the benign & virtuous Monatlbano & Zingaretti gives a powerful performance in this truly wonderful movie This movie is a must have for any Inspector Montalbano or Luca Zingaretti fan
