The Hidden Paradise

A small village. An epoch-making discovery. A great love

The year is 1633. In the Alpine village of San Michele the Inquisition is fully underway. Anything that does not conform to its norms is mercilessly persecuted. And it is here that two destinies intertwine: Daniele, who came into the world with a very special gift, and Susanna, who is born under dramatic circumstances. When the scientist Galileo Galilei proves that the center of the universe is not the earth, but rather the sun, the world teeters on the brink of radical change. Against this background, Susanna and Daniele must fulfill an unusual mission. But are the people around them ready for a new era? And are the times ready for a love that crosses borders?

A powerful story of self-discovery, friendship, and love during the age when Galileo Galilei reinvented the world
