A celebrated painter receives a visit from a cardinal's assistant, who informs him that his mother could become a saint.
Ernesto is a successful artist who has his life turned upside down by his family's wishes for the canonization of his murdered mother. His extreme dislike for her ignorant ways brings about a greater connection with his insane brother who killed her, while his other brothers favor her beatification. There is a struggle of wills and will power.—Sujit R. Varma
