This text is based on Hochhuth’s research in the Vatican archives regarding the history of the Second World War and it tackles the way Pope Pius XII, the Vicar of Christ on Earth, and the Catholic Church refrained from publicly condemning the persecutions of the Nazi regime against Jews. Faced with the silence of Pope Pius XII, witnesses and actors of the carnage, are Gerstein (Victor Rebengiuc), who brings the news, and father Ricardo Fontana (Ion Caramitru) who willingly goes to the concentration camp to take the place of another inmate.
