A priest, a murder weapon, and an autistic witness — God help them all.
A double murder shocks a quiet town in Umbria. Father Claude, a French priest leading a community for troubled youths, becomes involved after a suspicious confession. An autistic boy finds the murder weapon, revealing new clues.
Acting
Bernard Giraudeau's priest — weary, tempted, never sanctimonious.
Direction
Albano treats Umbria's beauty as complicit, not comforting.
Director
Gianfranco Albano
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bernard Giraudeau was a huge French star who quietly worked Italian TV; this was his only collaboration with director Albano.
Shot during Italy's ' Years of Lead' hangover, when trust in institutions — Church included — was cratering. The priest's moral paralysis reads differently now.
