Plot
Storyline
The film tells the story of Pedro Poveda (Raul Escudero), a tenacious and innovative priest who opens paths in the field of education and in the defense of the rights of women in early twentieth century Spain. UNESCO recognized him in 1974 as "Educator and Humanist" and Pope John Paul II canonized him in 2003.
When Pedro Poveda, a young priest, full of dreams and enthusiasm, began his evangelizing action in the caves of Guadix in the early twentieth century, he could not imagine the future development of his intuitions and projects. Throughout his life, these early ideas, these first projects to articulate evangelization, education and social advancement, were maturing, acquiring different rootedness and developments. His dreams, projects, and actions, seed sown on good ground has borne much fruit. Because when the seed falls on every piece of land that welcomes it, the seed becomes one with the land and, without losing its deepest identity; as it germinates it acquires the wealth of the land where it has been planted.
