Sinossi
On Easter Sunday, in a small town in Southern Italy, the crown of thorns is stolen from the statue of Christ. It was Saro, the schizophrenic son of Nino and Concetta, convinced he is the divine reincarnation. The interplay between reality and madness, between everyday life and ritual, weaves into the family dynamic of the three protagonists.
