DramaHistory
Italy, late 16th century, the Church, threatened by the Protestants, unleashes the Inquisition. Menocchio, an old, stubborn, self-educated miller oppose the new order. Accused of heresy, he ignores the pleadings and stands trial. The story of a man incapable of betraying his own principles.
VIBE
A quiet, defiant stand against overwhelming dogma. This film feels like a stark, intellectual duel, where a single mind grapples with the crushing weight of institutional power. It's a somber, unyielding portrait of conviction.
