Marco Bellocchio's reality-based epic about a Jewish family's struggle against the Vatican during Italy's turbulent 19th century.

Bologna, 1851. The Jewish family Mortara is awakened in the middle of the night by Vatican envoys and the family's youngest son, Eduardo, is dramatically taken from them. After a battle spanning several years to reclaim their son, this family tragedy culminates in a controversial dispute and a political struggle that pits Pope Pius IX's unchecked power against democratic movements and the unification of Italy. Master director Bellocchio delves deep into historical and personal angles of Italy's most famous legal case, resulting in a grand period drama about religious conspiracies and a desperate family's unwavering hope for reunion.
