Synopsis

Petros Eni follows a guided journey into the ancient necropolis that lies directly beneath St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. The documentary examines the archaeological evidence surrounding the tomb traditionally identified as that of the Apostle Peter, the first pope, and explores how this site shaped the development of the basilica and the broader trajectory of Western civilization.

Through expert interviews, archival footage, and on‑location filming, the film traces the layers of history from the first-century burial ground to the 17th‑century consecration of the current basilica, highlighting the intersection of faith, politics, and architecture.
