Restless Heart: The Confessions of Augustine

Overview

Augustine is a two-part, Italian-made mini-series about the influential theologian and church father St. Augustine of Hippo. The piece tells the story of his life from a teenager to his death at the age of 69. Much of the content for the scenes of him as a young and middle-aged man come from his Confessions, which is probably the earliest extant autobiography.
