Fleeing from his enemies in the Catholic Church, the free thinking philosopher, poet and scientist Giordano Bruno has found some protection in Venice. But the Roman Inquisition, fearing his influence in Europe, wants to bring him on trial for 'heresy'.

VIBE

A dense, intellectually charged drama that feels like a suffocating intellectual duel. The film's oppressive atmosphere mirrors Bruno's struggle, making for a challenging yet rewarding viewing experience for those who appreciate deep philosophical debate.
