Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try to achieve but can never find. For the gang of tombaroli, thieves of ancient grave goods and archaeological wonders, the Chimera means redemption from work and the dream of easy riches. For Arthur, the Chimera resembles the woman he lost, Beniamina. To find her, Arthur challenges the unseen, searches everywhere, enters the earth - looking for the door to the afterlife that myths speak of. In an adventurous journey between the living and the dead, between forests and cities, between feasts and loneliness, the intertwined destinies of these characters unfold, all in search of the Chimera.
With La Chimera, director Alice Rohrwacher creates a philosophically stimulating piece of cinema that has the rare ability to truly transform the way we look at the world.
