Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for history buffs and anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. If you loved The Two Popes or 1900, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 56 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

Rome, 1870. Opponents of the church power are being sent to prison. Some of the exhausted prisoners are asking for the mercy of Pope. Others, like Augusto Parenti, prefer to fight for their rights until the end. His wife, Teresa is a simple woman, who gets involved with the rebels.
