Pier Giorgio Frassati is shown encouraging his friends to practice their Catholic faith, inviting them to Mass and to pray in Church. His faith is expressed joyfully, including instances of him serving the poor. Pier Giorgio discusses his vocation and future with Marco.

Pier Giorgio Frassati’s friend Marco is dismissive of his prayer life, teasing him about it. There is tension between Pier Giorgio and his father Alfredo about Pier Giorgio’s future.
