Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Fiat Voluntas Dei translates as Your Troubles Are Mine. Comic actor Angelo Musco stars as Padre Attansio, everybody's father confessor in a small Italian village. The padre does his best to solves everyone's problems in a humorous but reverent fashion. Most of the story is conveyed in pantomime, which made the picture easier to export to non-Italian markets. Fiat Voluntas Dei has much in common with the later "Don Camillo" pictures starring Fernandel -- except that Angelo Musco is a much less demonstrative and far more gentle screen presence.
