After a pupil challenges him, astronomer Galileo adopts the telescope and proves Earth is not the universe’s centre. In a society ruled by aristocracy and clergy, still reeling from plague and the Reformation, his findings threaten order. Facing the Inquisition’s death threat or recantation by the Papacy, he must choose between his life and the curiosity that drove him to abandon family, friends and wealth.
