Kardec

In 19th century Paris, a respected academic's world is turned upside down by a simple question: can the living communicate with the dead? This 2019 historical drama follows the true story of Allan Kardec, a man of science who risks his reputation and career to investigate spiritualist phenomena. As he delves deeper into séances and mediumship, he faces fierce opposition from the Church and the scientific establishment. The film masterfully blends fact with a compelling personal journey, exploring the birth of Spiritism and the profound clash between faith and reason. It's a thoughtful portrait of conviction against all odds.
