On June 22, the Passionflix movie Gabriel’s Redemption Part 1 will debut online.

Professor Gabriel Emerson (Giulio Berruti) has left his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his beloved Julianne (Melanie Zanetti). Together, he’s confident that they can face any challenge. And he’s eager to become a father. But Julianne’s graduate program threatens Gabriel’s plans, as the pressures of being a student become all consuming.

When she is given the honor of presenting an academic lecture at Oxford, Gabriel is forced to confront her about the subject of her presentation – research that conflicts with his own.

In an effort to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel begins a quest to discover more about his biological parents, beginning a chain of events that has startling repercussions for himself, Julianne, and his hope of having a family.
