Giordano Bruno, friar, philosopher, and the protagonist of Heresy, was persecuted by the Inquisition at the end of the sixteenth century for preaching the infinity of the universe and its heliocentric model, preceding even the famous Galileo. It is said that his last speech, when he was finally captured by the Inquisition in 1600 and sentenced to death for heresy, was “Perhaps you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it”. His well-documented history serves as the basis for the making of a thriller that, despite having an interesting historical setting, fails to bring together the elements that form its various plotlines.
