Facing a major crisis in Quebec as in the rest of the Western world, has the Catholic Church becomes a ghost ship in search of a crew? Director Nicola Zavaglia reflects on this consequential issue with a documentary that brings you behind the closed doors of Catholicism.

Two thousand years after Jesus, can the Catholic religion hope to flourish once again?
