Confortorio plot

A true story about the Catholic Church's attempt to convert two Jewish thieves. This film is set around 1736, under the reign of Pope Clement XII. The two thieves are banished from the Jewish ghetto in Rome by rabbis. They are sentenced to the noose by the papal tribunal. However, the Church Fathers are well aware that this poses a great moral dilemma. If they hang a Jew, he goes to hell because of his guilt in the death of Christ. The church then becomes an instrument of damnation instead of salvation. There is only one solution: the men must be converted so that they will die as Christians and their souls will be saved. The confortorio, who supports the condemned, calls all the important priests to the aid, but this only backfires. The prisoners become aware of their forgotten cultural identity.
