MATRIOSKA MOVIE (THE DAYS OF THE HOLY SHROUD)

Country: Italy
Year: 1998
Duration: 45'


Three different stories make up this video, and they are all connected by an important theme: the fire in Turin's cathedral. The first part hypothesizes that the fire was set on purpose in order to steal the Holy Shroud and hold it for ransom. In the second part, the script-writer of the first section is contacted by a mysterious character (Lucufero), who wants at all costs and by all means to keep the work from being published. In the third part, the jury of a film festival is distracted from their discussion of whether to accept the two films by an unexpected event: the fire in the Cathedral of Turin.
