Liberami

On his election Pope Benedict XVI not only publicly acknowledged Satan’s real existence but also suggested that the Italian Bishops should elect at least one exorcist in every diocese. Of the one hundred exorcist priests registered throughout Italy, twenty operate in Sicily. They work non-stop, so much that specialized operators are insufficient to meet the sudden rise in demand. The film crosses a more abstract level; from the story about the international training courses in Rome, to the stories of the four people who go every Thursday to the little church in the heart of Palermo; amongst the crowd of faithful, they follow the exorcist mass held by Father Ctaldo, a veteran, and the most sought after exorcist in the liberation trade.
