Discover the "Flying Friar" in this heartwarming tale of humility and miracles.

Prepare to be inspired by the incredible true story of St. Joseph of Cupertino, the humble 17th-century Franciscan friar who proved that God’s grace shines brightest through the simple of heart. Starring Academy Award-winner Maximilian Schell, this profound and often humorous film captures the life of a man who was considered "slow" by the world, but became one of the most beloved saints in the history of the Church. 

Born into poverty in Cupertino, Italy, Joseph’s journey to the priesthood is anything but easy. From his mother’s desperate attempts to find him a place in the monastery to his struggles with formal education, Joseph faces constant rejection. However, under the guidance of a kindly Bishop and the reluctant Abbott (played by the legendary Ricardo Montalban), Joseph’s deep piety begins to manifest in extraordinary ways—most notably, his miraculous ability to levitate during prayer.
