In the fifties, the leaders of the Greek-Catholic church are arrested and sent to the Sighet prison.The soviet regime has banned any church except the orthodox. Tortured and dehumanized, the only choices are conversion or death. The bishop Iuliu Hossu stands up in front of the torturers and through courage and stature becomes an inspiration for the other priests.

1950, prison de Sighet, Roumanie. C’est là, derrière les barreaux, qu’un groupe d’évêques gréco-catholiques est emprisonné par les autorités communistes, dans le but de les amener à renier toute forme d’allégeance au Vatican, perçu comme une influence étrangère. Un homme s’élève parmi eux qui devient progressivement un guide pour chaque prêtre : l’évêque Iuliu Hossu.

În 1948, episcopul Iuliu Hossu desfide cererea regimului comunist de a se lepăda de Biserica Greco-Catolică. Bazat pe o poveste adevărată.
