St. Philip Neri: I Prefer Heaven, Pt. 2 /2 (Full movie, 2010)

Saint Philip Neri: I Prefer Heaven (Italian: Preferisco il Paradiso) is a 2010 Italian television movie written and directed by Giacomo Campiotti. The film is based on real life events of Roman Catholic priest and then Saint Philip Neri.

Philip Neri was a priest in the 16th century known for his humor, charity, and prayer life. Hoping to go to India, Philip was guided instead to re-evangelize a corrupt and decadent Rome. He is remembered as the "Apostle of Rome".

A free-spirited and independent priest, he serves the poor and rich with the same dedication. He spreads happiness and love and tries to bridge the gap between God and the followers. He befriends a gang of the local street urchins who become his devoted followers as he guides them and moulds them into a functional choir fit to perform in the Vatican. A story that is sad but uplifting and awe-inspiring all at the same time.
