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. Edgardo's parents, distraught, will do anything to get their son back. Supported by public opinion and the international Jewish community, the Mortaras' struggle quickly takes a political dimension. Veteran Italian flimmaker Marco Bellocchio brings this harrowing story of interfaith conflict to life in this heartfelt thriller. Based on true events.
