- These five documentary films, produced for the Rome Diocese in March 2021, were dedicated to families as a way to accompany the faithful towards Easter. The main character is Monsignor Dario Gervasi, auxiliary bishop of Rome for the pastoral care of the family. In every short film, each lasting roughly 20 minutes each, the Bishop meets a different family from the diocese at their home. The only exception is the fifth and final film which was filmed remotely during to Covid red zone restrictions. "These short films were born from a desire to hear more about the life of families in their own words, particularly after Covid, and to understand how the Word of God read as family can light up the way", explained Bishop Gervasi. In the five films, there is the story of the a Sirian family welcomed into the parish of Saint Bonaventure; a young women with three children who becomes a widow; a couple who returned to the faith following their meeting with a parish priest; a husband and wife in economic difficulties due to the pandemic.
