TL;DR

La Chimera is Alice Rohrwacher's new film, a fantasy-comedy set in Tuscany in the 1980s. The film follows Arthur, a former archeological scholar turned grave-robber, who is searching for his lost love Beniamina. Along with a group of eccentric tomb-looting troubadours, Arthur uses his expertise to find valuable Etruscan antiquities and sell them to a shady dealer. The film is a celebration of Italy's past glories and a poignant exploration of the cost of surrounding oneself with ghosts.
