The Gorgeous Inertia of the Earth

Exploring themes of love, trauma, and self-discovery, the narrative follows John Molloy, an Irish sculptor, as he navigates his relationship with Italian sociologist Bernadette Basagni against the backdrop of a contemporary-art project in an Alpine city. John's past resurfaces, particularly a pivotal moment involving his mother's holy vision that led to family ostracization. The story unfolds in two parts: the first through fragmented glimpses of his journey, and the second through a reflective odyssey in Bologna, where he confronts his history and inner struggles.
