"Remove your legs from the windshield" - Alberto, an engineer over forty years old, on his return from an inspection, a nineteen-year-old Parisian student called Sylvie is looking for a ride. Even though the girl reminds him of her daughter Francesca's age, Alberto decides to accompany her to Rome, with the secret hope of being able to derive an adventure from her.

The film begins at night, as parishioners holding lanterns form a series of processions, travelling through the night from Rome, and villages in the Abruzzi and Lazio regions, to make it to the Santuario della Madonna del Divino Amore, 10 miles from the capital, by morning. More than an anthropological study of ecstatic devotion – with its genuflecting disciples, and women who scream desperately at the sky – Divino Amore also speaks to Mangini’s interest in disappearing rituals and communities at risk of extinction. When generations of worshippers pour out of the church at the end of the service, formality dissolves into secular leisure, as families perched on horse carts eat plates of spaghetti and men fall asleep on the grass. The velvet-clad austerity of the church’s interior gives way to a series of pastoral tableaux.
