Roberto Citran, one of the most talented actors in contemporary Italian cinema, portrays a forlorn priest of a small Southern Italian village who is forced to celebrate mass outdoors after the old town church collapses in an earthquake. The story follows in particular his struggle to help an old woman who feels she no longer has a reason to live, a task that tests his faith. Così in terra is a powerful tale of human desperation and the need to believe that there can be purpose in every event, even the most devastating ones.
