This epic film follows Karol Wojtyla's journey from his youth in Poland through his late days on the Chair of St. Peter. It explores his life behind the scenes: how he touched millions of people and changed the face of the Church and the world; how he defended the dignity of mankind. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Despite all efforts and good intentions, films like this are about the most boring thing that can appear on a movie theater screen or television, outside of the circle of fans of the person. It is simply a biographical film, which is shot without proper distance with a certain amount of pathos and idealization of the character it focuses on. The person disappears and the institution of the papal throne is worshipped. Catholics will naturally be satisfied, but others have no reason to waste time with it. Karol Wojtyla was truly an exceptional person, and if the screenwriter and director could have humanized him, it could have been a truly interesting work. Overall impression: 40%.
