A priest(Luca Zingaretti - Inspector Montalbano) attends his new parish only to find the church empty, the locals uninterested and their children rude and abusive.He very gently sets about winning over first the children, by providing them with a place to play and learn, and then works on their parents. The church slowly becomes the focal point of the community and very quickly ends up full with standing room only.There's a heavy Mafia presence in the community but the priest stands up to them and encourages his parishioners to do the same. He does this effectively and suffers the consequences as the antagonism grows between him and the Mafia.Based on a true story, the ending is truly heart-rending.The acting is superb all round, the children in particular are very genuine and believable.The character of the priest is in keeping with the benign and virtuous Monatlbano and Zingaretti gives a powerful performance in this truly wonderful movieThis movie is a must have for any Inspector Montalbano or Luca Zingaretti fan
I saw "Come into the Light" at an Italian Film Festival last year. It is absolutely one of the greatest, most powerfully moving films I've ever seen: the greatest courage is when there is no hope. It is an absolutely true story, beautifully realized by the filmmaker. What an eternal disgrace to the powers that be in Italy, above all the Church, who in a second could have, and should have, immediately brought the bright light of day to shine full force, 24/7, on this town and this priest's murder for trying to fulfill his priestly assignment to help the slum kids--shine on it until is gone, changed. Instead, his life's work, and his brutal murder, was just shoved under the rug and covered up.
