A lighthearted romantic comedy that uses the conceit of a devilish trickster to gently disrupt a priest's orderly life and teach him about joy and human connection.

Father Maurice, a priest living in a residential college for priests in Rome, is called out one day to "exorcise" the devil from someone. The devil turns out to be in the form of a fun-loving man called Giuditta. What Father Maurice doesn't know is that this type of devil will turn his life around.
