Happy as Lazzaro (2018)

In the heart of the secluded pastoral haven, Inviolata, we meet Lazzaro, a humble peasant whose untarnished goodness is so profound it's often mistaken for naivety. Life in Inviolata is overshadowed by the formidable Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the undisputed queen of the tobacco industry. Lazzaro's life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Tancredi, a young nobleman ensnared by his own vivid imagination. When Tancredi enlists Lazzaro's help to stage his own abduction, an unbreakable bond is forged between them. This peculiar alliance proves to be a revelation for our innocent Lazzaro, birthing a friendship so profound that it transcends the constraints of time. As Lazzaro embarks on a journey to find Tancredi, he finds himself lost in the labyrinth of the bustling city, a relic of the past adrift in the modern world. His story is a poignant exploration of simplicity and virtue in an ever-changing world.

Happy as Lazzaro is a drama movie featuring Adriano Tardiolo and directed by Alice Rohrwacher.
