The miraculous life and spiritual battles of Saint Benedict of Nursia

In the final days of the Roman empire, Benedictus, a young scholar born of noble lineage, was weary of the eternal city's hedonism and pomp. Beckoned by a voice in his heart, Benedictus abandoned his life of privilege and wandered through the wilderness until finally taking refuge in a cave. After three years of prayer and isolation, Benedict emerged from his self-imposed exile as a man of miracles... but also the target of frequent diabolical attacks.

Based on ancient texts written by Pope St. Gregory the Great and St. Benedict himself, Benedictus is an experimental faith-based film that tells the story of the enigmatic man we know today as Saint Benedict. Benedictus, however, is also a modern-day summons to look deeper, question what appears certain, and prepare for the future in our ever-changing world.
