Synopsis 1:
IGNACIO DE LOYOLA tells the story of a brash, hot-headed soldier in
a time of political upheaval in Spain. The young Iñigo went from living a life
of brutal violence and debauchery, to becoming one of the greatest saints in
the history of the Church. This film chronicles Iñigo's torturous struggle to
turn from darkness to light—a struggle that nearly destroyed him, but also gave
him the key to a spiritual weapon that continues to save lives to this very
day.

A modern and very human take on the story of St. Ignatius of Loyola,
the founder of the Jesuits, often called 'The Saint of Second Chances.'

Synopsis 3:
‘IGNACIO’ is a full-length feature film about St. Ignatius of
Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.
It is an incisive and thrilling look at the life of the real man behind
the legend, following his transformation from a brash, impulsive youth obsessed
with women and sword-fighting; to the masterful, charismatic leader of an order
that would change the face of Christendom.
In his lifelong quest to become the heroic Knight of his fantasies,
Ignacio stares death in the face again and again, having his leg shattered by a
cannonball in battle; driven to near suicide by his inner demons; finding
himself imprisoned, accused of being an illuminati; and finally finding his life in the hands of
the Inquisition. Through it all, he would come to see the hand of God working
in his life, shaping the self-obsessed sinner into the loyal and passionate
soldier-saint.
The film also shows how Ignacio wove the trials, errors, and lessons
of his eventful life into the fabric of his masterpiece, the Spiritual
Exercises. Combining clarity of thought with Ignacio’s own love of fantasy and
imagination, the Exercises form a rigorous method of making one’s life
decisions, and have guided and influenced countless seekers throughout history.
