In 1985, the Pope visits Atri, a small town in the region of Abruzzo. It’s an important event for the town, and the whole community has taken the day off. Everyone is getting ready to welcome His Holiness, and even the farmers, dressed in their Sunday best, are preparing for the big day. Fernando, however, has other ideas. He gives his family the slip and sneaks off on his ramshackle scooter to the home of his sweetheart, Silvia. Meanwhile, the Pope is greeted by the enraptured crowds.
