Declaration

film director

“Vincenzo’s story isn’t only the story of a clairvoyant, of his ecstasies and his miracles. It is, above all, the story of a man who had the possibility to dream taken away from him as a boy. As he grew up, he had to fight with all his being, through the possible and the impossible, to get it back. Because ‘the one true sin is the absence of love.’ And that love is the only miracle to believe in.”
