A documentary about the World Youth Day held in Rio de Janeiro from 23 to 28 July 2013 gathering nearly 3.7 million young people from all over the world. This event was the first Pope Francisco's trip abroad since assuming the papacy in March of the same year. The film shows the confluence between the Marvelous City of Rio de Janeiro and the message conveyed through the Christian faith. It lists similarities and deepens specificities through the eyes of five thematic strands: the Church, the Pilgrim, the City, the Favela and Other Religions.
