Costume drama from veteran Italian director Marco Bellocchio (Vincere) about the true story of the 1858 abduction of a seven-year-old Jewish boy in Bologna at the behest of Pope Pius IX.

In 1858, the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Jewish Mortara family. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take Edgardo, their seven-year-old son. The child had been secretly baptized by his nurse as a baby and the papal law is unquestionable: he must receive a Catholic education. Therefore, abduction comes naturally. Edgardo is subsequently brainwashed into becoming a priest and set up against his original family and faith.
