In 1943 Italy, exhausted by the war, surrenders to the allies and immediately columns of German soldiers occupy it.

Rome itself is invaded by Nazi troops who start laying siege to the Vatican, no one can enter, no one can leave.

Hitler wants revenge on the Pope, because he knows very well that Pius XII is in contact with the Allies.

He therefore hatches a plan to invade the Vatican, capture the Pope and deport him to Germany. Pius XII is aware of this plan and signs his resignation as Pontiff, Hitler will only capture a priest.

Meanwhile, the violence of the war continues and the Nazis deport Roman Jews, without the Pope being able to prevent it, but Pius XII reacts by opening churches, convents and even the catacombs to those persecuted by Hitler.
The clash between the Pope and the Devil is at its climax.
