Description: Set in 17th-century Tuscany, "The Baby of Mâcon" follows a theatrical troupe performing a parable about a miraculous virgin birth in the town of Mâcon, where infertility has plagued the inhabitants for generations. The play's success leads to exploitation and tragedy, blurring the lines between performance and reality. Directed by Peter Greenaway, the film delves into themes of religion, superstition, and human nature, challenging societal norms and the concept of miracles. The narrative unfolds within the court of Cosimo III de' Medici, who observes the unfolding events with a mix of fascination and detachment.
