The 43’ documentary film features selected footage and images among the hundreds of heartfelt contributions —videos, pictures and posters— received by hundreds of catholic organizations and institutions from 71 countries, interspersed among intimate interviews with key figures of the Catholic Church and laity, about the practice, power and impact of the Rosary in our daily lives.
Its very elaborate contruction and unconventional composition warrant being explained, in order to facilitate its viewing.
The initial challenge was how to manage the massive amount of footage that was sent by the participants to the 2024 World Rosary Day ̶ close to 800 files, with widely different degrees of quality ̶ in a way that would not be repetitive or boring.
We also wanted to make the narrative appealing to a wider audience of viewers, including Catholics who are not familiar with the Rosary and its purpose; those who did not participate in the WRD event; and even non-Catholics.
Ultimately, it was decided to weave some selected 2024 World Rosary Day footage together with a series of interviews and anecdotes ̶ expected and unexpected ̶ in order to create a story that would illustrate and enhance the beauty, universality and efficacy of the Rosary.
Such complexity also explains the movie’s title:
