A grave historical drama about intellectual persecution and martyrdom, centered on a philosopher's defiant stand against religious authority.

Fleeing from his enemies in the Catholic Church, the free thinking philosopher, poet and scientist Giordano Bruno has found some protection in Venice. But the Roman Inquisition, fearing his influence in Europe, wants to bring him on trial for 'heresy'.
