Super star Alice Rohrwacher concludes her loosely connected trilogy with a burlesque and raucous tale of a rowdy gang in a peculiar corner of Italy.

Everyone has their own 'chimera,' something they constantly seek but never quite attain. Just as in The Wonders (2014) and Happy as Lazzaro (2018), Rohrwacher employs her unique form of earthy magical realism with Fellini-esque vibes as she tells the story of a troublesome group of tomb raiders, led by a disheveled Englishman searching for his lost love—perhaps in the afterlife. Thanks to his unique gift, old Etruscan tombs are discovered one after another, but unfortunately, the gang manages to mess up most things in the end. Present and past, life and death, humans and spirits, song, music, and dance, everything finds its place in this incredibly entertaining tapestry where Isabella Rossellini is one of the golden threads.
