The film tries to shed a light on the mysterious disappearance of the “Prince of Physics” through testimony, archive footage and animations. March, 1938: 31-year-old Ettore Majorana, unanimously considered one of the most brilliant Italian physicists of the 20th Century, goes missing without leaving any traces, in circumstances which will never be clarified. After reaching Palermo by ship from Naples, he buys a ticket to go back to Naples immediately. Since then, no one heard from him. Researches are useless, hypotheses on his fate are many – which is the truth?
Directed by Egidio Eronico, 2015.
