Set in June 1858, "Edgardo" is a drama based on the true story of how police in Bologna, Italy, tore a 6-year-old Jewish boy away from his parents. According to the police, he had been secretly baptized by a Gentile servant girl years before. He was removed from his family in accordance with a law forbidding "Christian" children from being raised by Jews. This began his strange odyssey, which had powerful consequences for the future of both the Italian nation and the Catholic Church.
