The movie plot is inspired by Hitler’s visit in Italy, hosted by Mussolini in 1938. To impress his guest, Mussolini calls upon Italy’s most authoritative archaeologist to act as a guide through the treasures of the Bel Paese. The man, distant from the regime’s positions, finds himself forced to accompany the two dictators over four days, during which the beauty and power of art act as a backdrop to tension, ambiguity, and choices that continue to resonate in the present.
