Filippo is an unusual mixture of detective, scientist, and priest. He comes to a small Dutch town, send by the Vatican to investigate, and probably debunk, a miraculous statue of the virgin Mary. Little does he know that he’ll find a grieving community that won’t allow him to take away their miracle. And an enigmatic, mute young woman – helps to crack down Filippo’s certainties about his calling as a priest and as human being.

Honorable Mention in Italy !

THE MAN FROM ROME receives Honorable Mention in Italy

THE MAN FROM ROME by Jaap van Heusden receives a Honorable Mention from the jury of the XXVII Tertio Millennio Film Fest in Italy. 

The honorable motivation of the jury in Italy reads: “A film that questions us all, both religious and secular, on the tension of relating to the different manifestations of the Sacred, especially those that apparently appear distant from our way of experiencing religiosity. In his tormented search for the Truth, the protagonist (played with passion by Michele Riondino) goes through a harsh questioning of his own certainties and realises that what he seeks is in its essence changeable and elusive, and, consequently, he cannot help but develop an empathetic and compassionate gaze. The encounter with the Sacred therefore flourishes when we open our hearts and meet the other/different from us with his sufferings and his hopes”.
