The story of Karol Wojtyla, St. John Paul II, and the story of Kraków are interwoven in a chronological pilgrimage through the life of a saint that reveals, at the same time, the dramatic history and the majestic culture of a city where a boy grew into a man, a priest, a bishop- and an apostle to the world.
