The documentary unfolds as a journey through the life of Carlo Acutis – from pilgrimages to Assisi to digital communities around the world, up to his canonisation – illustrating the constant dialogue between earthly life and transcendent reality. It shows how the message of "the first saint of the digital age" can transcend religious boundaries and speak to different generations and distant cultures, reaching from his parish in Milan to Cascia, La Verna, Lanciano, Fátima, Rome and many countries around the world, where his words have resonated and been embraced.
