  Between 1938 and 1948, from the height of Italy's Fascist regime to the end of the tumultuous post-war period, Chief Detective De Luca investigates and solves crimes in the City of Bologna and along the Adriatic coast. With little or no regard for those in power, whoever they happen to be, his solitary, uncompromising character often lands him in trouble, but his respect is reserved for the truth and justice alone. In the four TV movies of the series Unauthorized Investigation , Carte Blanche , The Damned Season and Via Della Oche each taken from a novel by best-selling mystery Carlo Lucarelli Chief Detective De Luca always ultimately gets to the bottom of his cases, though what he finds leaves a bitter aftertaste.

  A priest(Luca Zingaretti - Inspector Montalbano) attends his new parish only to find the church empty, the locals uninterested and their children rude and abusive. He very gently sets about winning over first the children, by providing them with a place to play and learn, and then works on their parents. The church slowly becomes the focal point of the community and very quickly ends up full with standing room only. There's a heavy Mafia presence in the community but the priest stands up to them and encourages his parishioners to do the same. He does this effectively and suffers the consequences as the antagonism grows between him and the Mafia. Based on a true story, the ending is truly heart-rending.The acting is superb all round, the children in particular are very genuine and believable. The character of the priest is in keeping with the benign and virtuous Monatlbano and Zingaretti gives a powerful performance in this truly wonderful movie This movie is a must have for any Inspector Montalbano or Luca Zingaretti fan
