The new prime minister, Anselmo Riccardi, born from gestation for others, is obsessed with re-establishing the traditional family. Behind him, inside him, acts Ulrica Neumond, a sorceress and founder of the European House of New Aryans. Their ravenous plan for conquest also strikes down on the monastery of the Mothers of Wisdom, a picturesque lay order founded by three mature homosexuals: Fernando, Giorgio and Luciano. The Mothers, however, are not alone: at their side are Licia, the prime minister’s eleven-year-old mystical daughter, and Barbara, a combative wife who, from an ally, will transform into Anselmo’s antagonist. Fosco Nunziante, an intellectual who has been dead for some time, still weighs on the fate of the living, hovers over them. Wagnerian drama, esoteric tale and fantastic comedy, in “The Mothers of Wisdom” the fear induced by a magical-authoritarian political power is opposed by a libertarian and humanist neo-monasticism, an antidote to solitude and the impoverishment of the interior life.
