Alice Rohrwacher, director of Alice in Wonderland (2014), returns with a film that mixes neo-realism, magic and social criticism.
Lazarus, a young peasant of exceptional kindness, lives in La Inviolata, a village that has remained isolated from the world and is controlled by Marquesa Alfonsina de Luna. One summer, he becomes a friend of Tancredi. Between them rises a friendship that makes Lazarus travel in time and takes him to know today's world.
It's Dostoevsky's The Idiot. A wise character who, in this case, not having lost the knowledge of his past life is the only one who knows how to recognize the different types of plants. A wink, no doubt, to Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse by Agnès Varda.
