La Chimera, her latest excursion into the fantastic worlds underpinning rural Italy is the story of Arthur (Josh O'Connor), an Englishman who gangs up with a band of grave robbers to excavate Etruscan artefacts, which are then sold to a mysterious entity named Spartaco (Alba Rohrwacher). Arthur returns by train from a stint in jail to the makeshift sheet metal hut where he used to do business. It lies on the side of a hill, below a, once upon a time, grand estate and belongs to wheelchair user Flora.
