'o Re

Deposed King Francesco of Naples and his queen, Maria Sofia, navigate life in elegant Roman exile after the unification of Italy. While the former king accepts his political fate and obsessively petitions the Vatican to canonize his mother, the restless queen dons men's clothing to secretly travel the peninsula, plotting a rebellion to reclaim their throne. Her frantic longing for a child—an heir—collides with her husband's self-imposed celibacy, a tribute to his beloved mother, weaving personal anguish into the grand tapestry of a nation being remade.
