Florence, 1450. Fra Angelico, an old Dominican, painter of light and the inexpressible, is passing through the convent of San Marco, where he created the frescoes. While strolling, he comes across a stubborn, candid, and lonely child. This encounter deeply moves both of them and mysteriously leads them to the Descent from the Cross in the Basilica of Santa Trinita, a masterpiece by the Angelic Master.
The painting, its history, its profound meaning, shed new light on the bond formed between man and child.
This "novel of a masterpiece" speaks of goodness, art, death, and light... The light that surrounds the altarpiece of Santa Trinita, and also that of an unexpected encounter.
