The Broken Key

Synopsis: In a near future, due to the effects of an uncompromising law on the eco-sustainability of supports, paper has become a rare item, a luxury possession. Printing is now a crime. Libraries have turned into inaccessible museums. Everything is floating, in a stream of data running in the ether, reaching every tablets and smartphones thanks to a fast net created and universally controlled by the "Big Z": Zimurgh Corporation. On the background of this realistic vision of the future, our sci-fiction/thriller movie is developing, in the suggestion created by a future vision of Turin, still a fascinating, esoteric and mysterious town. A series of murders followed by many clues will lead the protagonist, a British scholar of ancient Italian origins - new Adam and revived Arthur King - to walk on the path traced, so many centuries before, by Dante Alighieri and by the painter Hieronymus Bosch.

The path to Paradise...

is full of obstacles.

Amazing discovery made by the

Stanford Research Institute

in the Plain of Giza.

The big pyramid and the Sphynx are

connected by a secret passage.

"Upuaut Vll" the micro-robot created by

the German engineer Rudolf Gantenbrink

has discovered some subterranean caves

connecting these two huge structures.

Hieroglyphic fragments suggest

that the subterranean structures

were created by the "Shemsu Hor":

The followers of a cult devoted

to the legendary Horus.

We are about to discover

the mythical "Way of Horus".

Here are the images,

shown for the first time.

The ancient Egyptians were already using

an instrument like this one

to orient themselves in the desert

by following the stars.

It was rediscovered thanks to

an old scroll...

Remember:
Every single thing around you

is part of the whole picture...

Everything is connected

by an invisible thread...

You just need to be able

to see the connections.

We'll find right here the relics

of the Egyptian ships coasting Italy.

Phaeton will no longer be a myth.

We can prove it!

Abif, here we are.

Hello?

I found it.

Here's almost dawn.

I'll send it to you via pneumatic tube...

Hello!

What's happening?

Someone's here. I have to go.

Assistant director, someone is asking

for you on the phone.

Fine. The four canopic jars

of Horus from New York

need to be placed

in the showcase number 33.

All right, Dr. Tule.

Hello?

Yes, I'm coming.

Something unexpected!

Please, tell Professor Al Kamar

I need to go.

Don't worry, Doctor. I'll tell him.

Welcome to the eternal life.

The borders of existence

will be definitely overcome.

Your precious signature, please.

Bye.

Death and Nature will be astounded,

when every creature will revive

to answer the Judgement.

The soul longing for eternity,

needs to overcome the invincible

triumph of death

in order to be saved.

The borders of existence

will be definitely overcome.

Go beyond the threshold of hope.

Experience it!

Resurrection Day is coming,

when the half-living of the Moratorium

will live again.

We are waiting for you.

Resurrection Day is coming.

We carry on, with lot 516.

The third canto of the Divine Comedy

of the great poet Dante Alighieri!

A volume dated the end

of the nineteenth century.

The starting bid to experience

Dante's Paradise is...

Scan the pictures.

Make two encrypted copies:

One for me and one for the institute,

and then...

you can remove a tiny fragment for DNA

and radiocarbon testing.

I want to know where this came from.

Well, it looks like

Cyperus Papyrus, Professor.

But the test will take a least a week.

We can wait.

You can do these scans.

I'm going to make a few phone calls

and...

I want to visit one of my true

colleagues.

We got the results today.

This is part of the Turin Canon.

Unfortunately, the most important part

is missing.

That could be a connection to

the Seven Sages.

The Book of the Foundation.

The followers of Horus.

The builders of the sacred cities.

That's just amazing.

Yeah.

You must have paid a fortune for

these.

You even got them past the Shuster

Control.

It's damn fantastic!

Dante, these days everything is

just a flow of digital data

one click away.

Not even Oligarchs could afford

these relics of the past.

It's just a partial fortune, sadly.

Let's sit.

I used to smoke.

That's the only thing my Father left me.

It's the only real thing beside

all these memories.

Funny, isn't it?

Today it's a totally useless object.

Another vanish utopia.

Yes.

I want to get to that missing piece.

Maybe was misfiled in

some different document.

You could go to Turin.

To check the catalogues!

I can't leave my mother.

Yes, I know she needs you.

I love her, too.

She's not getting better.

We can wait, don't be long.

All right?

Okay.

You may need help.

No, I prefer to dive alone.

You know me.

Here, this is the point.

Yes, I see.

Look, this is your father.

What's happening?

Sh*t...

What?

He's coming up too fast.

Are you okay?

Follow your heart...

The light of your most brilliant star...

will lead you to the roots...

to the Truth...

There lies the secret...

She never wanted to end up in a

Moratorium,

bound to a thermic decay-suspension

machine.

Hanging between life and death.

Lingering in that bubble,

just to be able to talk to her

for a couple of minutes a year.

And death...

shall have no dominion.

Dead man naked they shall be one

with the man in the wind and the west

moon.

When their bones are picked clean

and the clean bones gone,

they shall have stars at elbow and foot.

Though they sink through the sea

they shall rise again.

Though lovers be lost

love shall not.

And death...

shall have no dominion.

Welcome to the eternal life.

Resurrection Day is coming.

When every creature will revive

to answer the Judgement.

It's time to wake up.

I'm Mr. Adams.

I'm looking for Mr. Shu.

The references from Prof. Moonlight

grants you the necessary authorization.

You are now a "root user" of our system.

A big privilege, no doubt.

But...

Actually, we've not been informed

about the object of your research.

I'm looking for information

about the movements of

some fragments of an ancient scroll...

connected to the Turin Canon.

You can find the coordinates in my

badge.

Good, Professor Adams,

I'm going to make a quick research

in the digital archives.

In the meantime, could you please...

Sure.

Excellent! Thank you sir.

Thank you.

Let me see...

No, that's really strange though.

Maybe the notification is missing.

Okay don't worry, no problem.

We could try some information

in the paper archives.

Could you please wait here?

For sure, no problem.

According to the Shuster law,

in order to...

to get access to the archive, you need

an authorization from the Ministry.
