Movie Info

Vito Bonafacci is a successful businessman who enjoys his lifestyle and the riches he has accumulated. But all that changes when one night he dreams he is having a heart attack. In that dream his mother appears from her grave and pleads with him to abandon his pursuit of greed and materialism. "Beware of the false gods of money, power, status and pleasure" she implores him, and instructs him to "return to the true path of life". When he wakes, he is deeply affected by this vision and this leads him on a soul-searching journey to understand his life's purpose. In a series of encounters with family and friends, he questions and explores the meaning of faith and the role religion plays in tempering one's soul. As the echo of his Mother's words fill his thoughts, he reaches out to his local priest to begin the renewal of his Catholic faith. -- (C) CAVU Pictures

Vito Bonafacci stands as one project better suited to Sunday schools than movie theaters.
