In 430 AD, in the besieged city of Hippo, seventy year-old bishop Augustine recalls his reckless youth, his days as a renowned but dissolute orator, and how after converting to the guilt-free tenets of Manichaeism, he was called to the imperial court in Milan to serve as opponent to the Christian bishop Ambrose, but was finally converted to Christianity through the patience and devotion of his mother Monica.
