The film "In the Name of the Son" highlights the case of Edgardo Mortara, a Jewish boy kidnapped from his family in 19th-century Italy. Mortara was taken after a Catholic servant secretly baptized him, a practice considered valid by the Catholic Church at the time, leading to his removal from his parents. This sparked a major international incident, drawing attention from across Europe and prompting diplomatic pressure on the Papal States. The case centered on religious law and parental rights, igniting a fierce debate. Mortara was raised Catholic and never reunited with his family. The film explores the complexities of this historical event and the profound impact on all involved. The story resurfaces as the film gains prominence in cinemas.
