“Josh O’Connor dazzles in this brilliant tale of Italian tomb raiders. Torn between lost love and a gang of rowdy grave-robbers, the actor digs deep for one of his finest performances in Alice Rohrwacher’s dazzling caper.” – The GuardianSet in the 1980s, in the former Etruscan landscape of rural Italy, Arthur, a vagabond-type character, is mourning the loss of his love. A local ragtag group of graverobbers make use of his archaeological skills to find ancient tombs filled with artefacts, but Arthur uses the digs to search for a door to the afterlife, of which myths speak, where he imagines reuniting with her.
