There Be Dragons (2011)


Even saints have a past

London-based investigative journalist Robert Torres [Dougray Scott] travels to Spain to research a book about Josemaria Escriva, the controversial founder of Opus Dei. But he hits a wall, both professionally and personally, when his most promising source - his own father - turns out to be the least cooperative.

Robert begins to unravel his father Manolo's toxic secrets when he learns that Manolo was not only born in the same Spanish town as Josemaria, but that they were childhood friends who attended the same seminary. As young adults, the two men take radically different paths in life. Josemaria dedicates his life to his faith, while Manolo is swept into the brutal and tumultuous Civil War.

As Robert continues to unearth the secrets of Josemaria's life and Manolo's mysterious anger, their overlapping journeys are revealed.
