Andrea Gherpelli

After an eclipse, an escort crashes her car while fleeing a killer and loses her sight. Acting as her eyes is a young boy who survived the accident. But the killer won't give up his victim.

The film follows the true story of how a six-year-old Jewish boy, Edgardo Mortara, was taken by the Catholic Church following claims that he was baptized by the family’s maid as a baby. While the distraught Mortara family fight to get him back, they find themselves at the epicentre of a wider historical battle between the forces of Catholic authoritarianism and the growing opposition movement.
