·SYNOPSIS·

For the first time, a film brings together prominent Jews from different countries who share their extraordinary encounters with Jesus. These testimonies from Jewish converts—both astonishing and deeply intimate—speak to the hearts of their fellow children of Israel, and to Christians as well, with a gaze full of hope. In times of uncertainty, this documentary asks whether the conversion of Israel foretold by Saint Paul may be beginning to become visible today.

·TRAILER·

Why this documentary

Contrary to what many believe, Christianity does not break with Judaism—it brings it to fulfillment. The Jewish people remain the chosen people, for Christ is Jewish, and He longs for one flock and one shepherd. The Popes have repeatedly called for closer ties between Catholics and the Hebrew people. For the first time in cinemas, this film tackles the delicate subject of Jews’ conversion to Catholicism through powerful testimonies. No one is better placed than they are to show their brothers and sisters the path they themselves have walked. For audiences of any creed, it is a journey across the world that reaches the heart, revealing mysteries and keys that link the Old and the New Testament and answers the great question: Who is the true Messiah?
