Kidnapped: plot, true story, cast and streaming of Marco Bellocchio’s film broadcast on Sky Cinema
Kidnapped is the film broadcast this evening, Monday 16 October 2023, at 9.15pm on Sky Cinema Uno. This is a 2023 film by Marco Bellocchio about the Edgardo Mortara case. Below are the previews, the plot and the cast.
Plot: true story
The film tells the story of a Jewish child, Edgardo Mortara (Enea Sala), who in 1858, at the age of seven, was taken by the Papal State and taken away from his family to be raised as a Catholic. The child had been secretly baptized when he was only six months old. According to the strict rules of papal law, the sacrament received by the newborn imposes on him a Catholic education. Transferred from Bologna to Rome, the child will be raised according to Christian precepts under the custody of Pope Pius IX (Paolo Pierobon).
Despite his family’s desperate requests to get him back, the pontiff opposes and Edgardo grows up in the Catholic faith. The battle of the Mortara couple (Barbara Ronchi and Fausto Russo Alesi) receives an important response in the Jewish community and soon takes on a political dimension.
Against the backdrop of an era in which the Church is losing part of its power and the Savoy troops conquer Rome, a family is struggling to be reunited.
