God Willing (Se Dio vuole)

Italian comedy, the story of an almighty battle of wills that pits a man with a God complex against the hip local priest.

"This Italian box-office success won Best New Director for Edoardo Falcone at the Italian Oscars and tells the hilarious story of an atheist surgeon with a God-complex, a charismatic priest, a dysfunctional family and an announcement that takes everyone by surprise.

"Tommaso (Marco Giallini) is a successful, respected surgeon who also happens to be conceited, proud and arrogant – and a staunch atheist. However, Tommaso's pedestal is set to be removed from beneath him when his only son Andrea brings the family together for an entirely unexpected announcement: he wants to become a priest! Tommaso refuses to accept this newfound Catholicism, and is further horrified when his wife Carla and daughter Bianca undertake a renaissance-of-sorts themselves. Tommaso goes undercover to investigate and bring down the charismatic priest Don Pietro (Alessandro Gassman) who he believes 'brain-washed' his son and caused upheaval in his family."
