The Flock of the Lord

A cinematic view of “the flock of the Lord“ in the year 2005. The film includes encounters from Marktl am Inn, the birthplace of Pope Benedictus XVI, on the weekend of his inauguration, and scenes from Rome, eleven days earlier, where hundreds of thousands huddled in St. Peter’s Square to bid the deceased Pope Giovanni Paolo II farewell with applause. –Venice Film Festival
