Jorge begins his life as a Jesuit in an unexpected way. A politically-divided country creates challenges as his religious calling unfolds.
People are routinely disappeared by the government, including Jorge’s close friends. He tries to balance his conscience with his institutional duties.
Jorge continues to suffer losses before moving to Germany. A religious experience there helps him heal, and he is offered a new position back home.
Jorge plays intermediary between the government and armed citizens of the slums. Years later, he is close to retirement when Pope Benedict XVI resigns.
