134 mins – Italy / France/ Germany 2023Director: Marco BellocchioStarring: Enea Sala, Filippo Timi and Leonardo MalteseThe year is 1858. Following Pope Pius IX’s orders, soldiers burst into the Mortara family’s Bologna home to forcibly remove their six-year-old son Edgardo. This is because they had heard from the Jewish family’s maid that she had secretly baptised him as a sickly infant for fear that he would die a Jew and his soul would remain in limbo.

The distraught Mortara family try desperately to get Edgardo back, and the scandal soon makes its way across the country and Europe at large.
