Kidnapped

In the historical backdrop of 19th-century Bologna, Italy, lies the heart-wrenching tale of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy caught in a religious storm. In 1858, without his family's knowledge, Edgardo was secretly baptized, which eventually led to his forceful removal from his home and his subsequent upbringing as a Christian. As the story unfolds, it is not just the tale of a boy torn between faiths but also a broader political conflict where the papacy stands against the forces of democracy and Italian unification. Edgardo's parents desperately strive to reclaim their son amidst this intense power struggle, unraveling a poignant narrative about love, loyalty, and the boundaries of belief.
