A historical drama based on St. Ignatius of Loyola as a Warrior , as a Founder of the Jesuit Order and as a Saint .
"If you could hear the voice of God , would you want to keep it secret? An acceptable religious movie based on the memoirs about the founder of Compañia de Jesús or Jesuit Order , considered to be one of the men most important in the XVI Century , he was born in Loyola 1491 and died in Rome 1556 . At the same time dealing with historic facts as war for Navarra region against the French and his ultimate vindication , as well as appearance of some historical roles as Queen Juana La Loca , Infanta Catalina, Francisco de Borja , Francisco Javier, Diego Lainez , among others .
The picture describes this essential role in History , as a soldier , a sinner and a Saint . As he was a man of battle and violence who, in his attempt to turn to the light , was forced to wrestle with his inner demons to the very brink of death . Chronicling his valiant defense at the battle of Pamplona , his struggles with depression , confrontation with professors and students at the Salamanca University , being even punished to suffer lashes on back , his trial before the Inquisition and anything else . Stars Rafael Duran who gives a passable acting but in style of the 40s . Being accompanied by a good cast such as : Maruchi Fresno as Queen Juana , Manuel Luna , Eduardo Fajardo, Maria Rosa Salgado, Arturo Marin, José Prada , Rufino Ingles , Santiago Rivero, Ricardo Acero , Alicia Palacios and several others .
Based on historial events about this great figure : As Ignatius was a military and a religious man .
