Le génie de l'éléphant

Synopsis of Le génie de l'éléphant

In his youth in Rimini, the priest Pietro fell in love with a woman named Celeste, who was considered a witch, and unknowingly, they had a child. She disappeared without a trace, and they never saw each other again, yet they remained the love of each other's lives. Years later, as she is dying, Celeste writes a letter to Pietro, revealing the existence of their son, Luca, who lives in Milan, offering him a chance to watch over him. With a sharp gaze that fears neither delicacy nor cruelty, Marco Missiroli tells a story of filial love stolen by time and secrets.
