Christ Stopped at Eboli

Set in the oppressive atmosphere of fascist Italy in 1935, the film tells the story of a man who is both an artist and a doctor by training. Due to circumstances, he finds himself exiled to a remote region near Eboli, a place far from the familiarity and comforts of his urban life. As he grapples with isolation and adapts to this new environment, the painter-doctor begins to develop a deep appreciation for the natural beauty around him and the wisdom of the peasant community that inhabits it. Through interactions with these resilient individuals, he not only finds solace in their shared experiences but also gains a newfound understanding of his own role in their lives and the world at large. This poignant tale is a testament to human connection, perseverance, and the transformative power of nature.
