2023 | Color | 134:00

In 1858, in the Jewish quarter of Bologna, the Pope’s soldiers burst into the home of the Mortara family. By order of the cardinal, they have come to take seven-year-old Edgardo, whose nurse secretly baptized him as a baby. Papal law is indisputable: he must receive a Catholic education. Distraught, Edgardo’s parents will do anything to get him back.

Set in the early 1980s, with the war between Sicilian Mafia bosses in full swing, Tommaso Buscetta, a member of the Cosa Nostra, flees Italy and goes into hiding in Brazil. During his exile, his clan is murdered in a settling of scores. Buscetta is arrested and extradited to Italy. Then he makes a decision that will change the history of the mafia: he will betray the oath he made to the Cosa Nostra.
