SYNOPSIS
Lazzaro, a young peasant of exceptional kindness, lives in La Inviolata, a small village that has remained far from the world and controlled by the hand of the Middle Ages by Marquesa Alfonsina de Luna.
There, the life of the peasants has never changed, they are exploited and, in turn, they abuse the goodness of Lazzaro.
One summer he becomes friends with Tancredi, the Marquesa's son.
Among them arises such a precious friendship that will make Lazzaro travel through time and take him to know the modern world.
"Lazaro returns from death as if nothing had happened, although those around him have been angry and Rohrwacher rolls and films as if the Berlusconi videocracy had not devastated the golden collective memory of Italian cinema, as if the Pasolinian humanism or the Olmi's affectionate look was still there ... because they continue, thanks to the mastery of this gigantic filmmaker "(Jordi Costa, in El País).
