Napoleon. The Death of God.

Paris, December 15, 1840. Twenty years after Napoleon’s death, it is allowed for his remains to return home to be entombed at Les Invalides. Lino Guanciale plays a son who has lost his father, maybe Napoleon, maybe a God, maybe just a man. Amid snow and cold that wraps around your breath, he faces loss and the necessary rebuilding.
