Una joven periodista, Andrea, investiga un caso sin resolver de abusos a menores que años antes, descubierto por casualidad gracias a un vecino que estaba tratando de ajustar un monitor de vídeo para bebés, conmocionó a la opinión pública de la República Checa. Conforme avanza en sus indagaciones, nuevos interrogantes la conducen hacia una poderosa y misteriosa secta, con la que están relacionadas las capas más altas de la sociedad… Tanto la absorbe esa laberintica e inquietante investigación que incluso llega a olvidar su vida privada. A solo un paso de encontrar la verdad, Andrea deberá reconsiderar cuánto está dispuesta a sacrificar para contarla.

With this recording, the vocal and instrumental Ensemble of the Cappella Musicale di Santa Barbara in Mantova, directed by Umberto Forni, continues the rediscovery of the musical heritage preserved in the Basilica archive.

Franzoni became an Academic of the Olimpico in Vicenza and, later, Chapel Master of the Duomo of Forlì.
