Synopsis
Set during the Renaissance in Rome, this is the story of Giuseppe Amadonelli "Peppe" a crippled dwarf who rises from obscurity in the slums of the Trastevere district to the highest rung of the Vatican ladder, becoming the confidante of Pope Leo X. In the process of this astonishing rise from rags to riches, Peppe meets the beautiful Laura Collini, who introduces him to Gnostic philosophy and initiates him into a secret Gnostic confraternity. It is a tale of circus freaks, ecclesiastical corruption, sexual perversion and ultimately hope in the enduring power of love.
