    Based on actual events during Pinochet's military dictatorship in 1983, Passion is the incredible story of 14-year-old street kid Miguel Angel (Sebastián Ayala), later called Michelangelo. He attracts considerable government attention with his claims that he can communicate directly with the Virgin Mary. Michelangelo is swiftly turned into a media sensation. Hundreds of thousands of Chileans make the pilgrimage to rural Penablanca in hopes of being cured by the young boy. In the meantime, sensing a hoax created by the regime, the Catholic Church sends in a Jesuit priest to investigate, where he soon finds out that there is more to these "miracles" than meets the eye.
