Neon has released a new trailer for their sumptuous period-piece romantic drama La Chimera, which centres on a group of archaeologists turned tomb robbers who steal antiquities for sale on the black market.
Written and directed by Alice Rohrwacher (Happy as Lazzaro), La Chimera stars Josh O’Connor, Carol Duarte, Vincenzo Nemolato, Alba Rohrwacher, Isabella Rossellini, Lou Roy-Lecollinet
Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try to achieve but never manage to find. For the band of tombaroli, thieves of ancient grave goods and archaeological wonders, the Chimera means redemption from work and the dream of easy wealth. For Arthur, the Chimera looks like the woman he lost, Beniamina. To find her, Arthur challenges the invisible, searches everywhere, goes inside the earth – in search of the door to the afterlife of which myths speak. In an adventurous journey between the living and the dead, between forests and cities, between celebrations and solitudes, the intertwined destinies of these characters unfold, all in search of the Chimera.
La Chimera is in theaters March 29th, 2024.
