Ce long métrage très apprécié sur le pape Jean-Paul II a été tourné en Italie et en Pologne. Axé sur la papauté de Jean-Paul II et l'impact considérable qu'il a eu sur l'Église et le monde, ce film met en vedette l'acteur Piotr Adamczyk dans un portrait profondément émouvant du pontife bien-aimé. Il s'agit de l'histoire vraie et puissante d'un leader spirituel charismatique qui a contribué à faire tomber le communisme, à renouveler la vie de l'Église, à insuffler aux jeunes du monde entier l'amour du Christ, et d'un pape qui a tendu la main aux autres religions et aux dirigeants du monde entier avec un message de paix et d'amour. Le film met également en vedette Raoul Bova (Saint François), Michele Placido (Padre Pio : Between Heaven and Earth) et Adriana Asti dans le rôle de Mère Teresa. La magnifique musique de film est signée du légendaire compositeur Ennio Morricone.

In 1954, two U.S. Marshals - Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule - travel to the Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane on Shutter Island located in Boston Harbor as part of an investigation into the disappearance of patient Rachel Solando, incarcerated for drowning her three children. The sole clue is a note left by Solando, which reads: "The law of 4; who is 67?" Shortly after arrival, a storm prevents their return to the mainland for several days. Daniels finds the staff confrontational: the lead psychiatrist, Dr. John Cawley, refuses to hand over records of the hospital staff; Solando's doctor, Dr. Lester Sheehan, had left on vacation after her disappearance, and they are barred from searching Ward C and told that the lighthouse on the island has already been searched, so there is no need to search it. When a patient is being interrogated by Daniels, with a subterfuge she sends Aule away for a few seconds and scribbles "RUN" in Daniels' notepad.
