Their mentor, Ferreira, is rumored to be dead or worse -- to have renounced his faith. In their search, the two men experience persecution, hunger, and despair.

The movie follows the adult Jack O'Brien, played by Sean Penn as he reflects on his childhood, his parents being played by Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain. One of the most theologically profound aspects of this movie is the attention it gives to two opposing forces of humanity: the way of grace and th...
