Synopsis

In the shadowed aftermath of 1949, Giovanni Velasques returns to his quaint hometown nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Sicily's mountains, bearing the scars of war inside and out. Haunted by wartime traumas, Giovanni's tumultuous spirit finds solace in the wisdom of an elderly lady who unveils his extraordinary gift: the ability to harness the spirit of a departed soul and heal the tormented. But as Giovanni's reputation as a healer grows, he finds himself on a collision course with two formidable adversaries: the church and the mafia. Torn between his mystical calling and societal pressures, he's pushed into a corner of isolation, forcing him to forsake his magical calling and embrace the expected life of a family man and farmer. But fate has more in store. Years later, two enigmatic strangers descend upon the village, unveiling a shocking truth that has bound Giovanni in deceit for a lifetime. Now, the seasoned magician must confront the greatest illusion of all—the truth about his own life.
