The Veil of Veronica was once ranked among Christendom's most prized relics, a cloth believed to carry the actual imprint of Christ's face. It vanished from Rome's records after the city was sacked in 1527, and this film follows journalist Paul Badde as he traces what became of it. Badde's inquiry leads through Vatican archives and correspondence, turning up evidence of a deliberate cover-up, before ending at a remote monastery in Manoppello, Italy, where a cloth matching the relic's description has been quietly kept for centuries. Interviews with historians and clergy weigh the physical evidence against the Shroud of Turin, comparing weave, image formation, and provenance between the two objects. The film treats the claims with a reporter's skepticism rather than settling the matter outright, laying out documents, monastery visits, and expert testimony so viewers can judge the case themselves. It closes with the monastery's cloth still on public display, its origin unresolved but its resemblance to older written accounts hard to dismiss.
