The Holy Grail has inspired centuries of legends, religious traditions and competing claims. From Spain and Italy to France and Jerusalem, this investigation explores the many objects, places and theories that have been associated with one of Christianity’s greatest mysteries.
The journey leads to the Holy Chalice of Valencia, the Sacro Catino of Genoa, the Precious Blood relics of Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre, Bruges and Fécamp, and the traditions surrounding Mary Magdalene. Historians, archaeologists, scientists and members of the Church examine what these relics reveal, what remains unproven, and how literature, faith and history have shaped the legend of the Grail.
Beyond the relics themselves, the film traces how medieval stories transformed the Grail into a universal symbol. From Chrétien de Troyes and Robert de Boron to the enduring fascination it continues to inspire, each theory offers a different perspective on what the Grail may truly represent.
Combining historical research, scientific analysis and religious tradition, this is a journey through one of the most enduring mysteries in history, leaving viewers to decide where the Holy Grail might truly lie.
