Filmed in Europe, RESTLESS HEART is the first full-length feature movie
on St. Augustine. Born in North Africa, Augustine studied in Carthage,
becoming an accomplished but dissolute orator. After converting to
Manichaeism, a guilt-free religion, he was called to the imperial court
in Milan to serve as an opponent to the Christian Bishop Ambrose. But
when the Empress Justina sent imperial guards to clear out a basilica
where Augustine’s mother, Monica, was worshipping, her constant prayers
and the witness of Ambrose won him over to Christianity. Serving in
Hippo in 430 AD, Bishop Augustine urged the Roman garrison to negotiate
with the Vandal King Genseric, but they proudly refused. He passed up a
chance to escape on a ship sent to rescue him by the Pope, and stayed by
the side of his people. Christian Duguay directed the film, and the
cast includes Franco Nero, Johannes Brandrup, Monica Guerritore and
Alessandro Preziosi.
