La chimera

A journey between the living and the dead: In her latest film, Alice Rohrwacher delves into the world of Tuscan grave robbers. They all have their own chimera - a mirage they want to achieve but never find. For the Tombaroli gang, thieves of ancient grave goods and archaeological treasures, the chimera means salvation from work and the dream of easy riches. For Arthur (Josh O'Connor, The Crown), a young Englishman, she looks like the woman he has lost: Benjamina. To find her, Arthur challenges the unseen and ventures into the earth - in search of the door to the afterlife that the myths speak of.
