    Watching Over Her

    Veiller sur elle

    In twentieth-century Italy, gifted sculptor Michelangelo 'Mimo' Vitaliani, born in poverty and living with dwarfism, forms an enduring and tumultuous bond with Viola Orsini, a fiercely independent heiress from an influential aristocratic dynasty. As Italy plunges into the shadows of fascism, their paths continually converge and collide across art, passion, and personal defiance, culminating in an enigmatic marble masterpiece safeguarded in a secluded monastery.
