The documentary captures a meeting in Rome last year between ten young Spanish speakers from around the globe and the leader of the world's 1.3 billion Catholics. He met with an array of blunt questions and challenges, tearful personal stories and frank affirmations.

"Do you know Tinder? asked Celia, one of the participants. To this the pope replied he does not know how to use it, but responds: "It's funny, young people have an eagerness to meet and that's a good thing."
