Venice, 1563. Asher and Aaron are two inseparable Jewish teenagers who fled the massacres of Central Europe. Wounded, they reach the House of Catechumens, where ‘infidels’ who wish to convert are healed, fed, educated and integrated into Christian society… but once inside, there is no turning back.
