Synopsis
Set in the Tuscan town of Riparbella in the 1980s, La Chimera is a delightful story of love, longing, and grave robbers.
After a short stint in prison, English archaeologist Arthur (Josh O’Connor) finds himself leading a gang of art thieves/grave robbers, when he falls in with a rowdy crew of twenty-somethings who pilfer the area’s ancient Etruscan tombs for earthenware and ornaments to sell on the black market.
Arthur has clearly strayed from his path, and only meeting the beautiful Italia (Carol Duarte) and the potential for love may save him.
The sheer fun, vitality, energy, and spirit of La Chimera is undeniably infectious.
