The Abbot is determined to stop any rumours surrounding the death affraid that it would make bad impression the church officials who will soon arrive for the conference, so he pushes William of Baskerville to solve the case as soon as possible. But second mysterious death puts an end to his hopes.
Classic mystery movie based on Umberto Eco with remarkable cast, dark atmosphere and really involving plot. The murder mystery set in the closed world on monks in the Middle Ages puts completely different perspective to this movie genre.
