Kidnapped

Edgardo Mortara (Enea Sala) is a young Jewish boy in Bologna in 1858, until papal officials arrive at his family's door and take him away, because a servant once baptized him in secret. Marco Bellocchio follows his parents, Momolo (Fausto Russo Alesi) and Marianna (Barbara Ronchi), as they fight to get him back. Edgardo is raised under Pio IX (Paolo Pierobon), a child alone in a Christian house, far from the family that still waits for him.
