In 1867, with Garibaldi's forces close to bringing Rome into the Italian kingdom, Monsignor Colombo da Priverno, a world-weary judge on the papal court, wants to resign, disgusted by the violence to which the papacy resorts to hold secular power.
A somber and contemplative drama, this film feels like a heavy, historical tome brought to life. It's a slow-burn exploration of faith and power, steeped in the weighty atmosphere of a collapsing empire.
