synopsis

Poetically and subtly personal, The Vatican tells the stories of people who have
loyally served the Roman Catholic church their whole lives. From high-ranking
cardinals heading major departments in Vatican City to local servants of God.
Op een poëtische manier en met een subtiel oog voor het persoonlijke, vertelt Het
Vaticaan - De staat van de Kerk het verhaal van mensen die heel hun leven trouw de
Katholieke Kerk hebben gediend, van hooggeplaatste kardinalen binnen
Vaticaanstad tot lokale dienaren van God.
