La verità sta in cielo
On June 22, 1983, a 15-year-old girl, Emanuela Orlandi, disappeared from the center of Rome and never returned. His disappearance is an opportunity to tell the genesis of the criminal pyramid that from that moment on will take root in the capital. A story with rough ramifications still current. When Emanuela Orlandi’s brother asked the Pope for an audience to ask him about his sister, the Pope replied “she is in heaven”. Is the truth also in heaven? DIRECTOR’S NOTES: Although cinema is always fiction, every event narrated here is supported by rigorous documentation, as well as by testimonies confirmed by the various investigations with judgments that have become final. As Shakespeare would say, in this story everything is so incredibly true that it seems impossible – says Roberto Faenza – It has been 30 years that this story has been waiting to be told and now the time has come.
