Spoilers ahead
Giacomo Leopardi, Elio Germano, emerges on screen as a brilliant Italian poet born in Recanati into a noble family. Surrounded by a vast library built by his father, he devours Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, and English, feeding a restless mind that longs to travel abroad to broaden his horizons and deepen his knowledge, a dream that clashes with the rigid expectations of his social class. The film traces how his parents’ priorities shape his path: his father remains bound by convention, while his mother is absorbed in stabilizing a family fortune that seems to slip away.
