Pilgrim film, directed by Cenetiempo in 2013.
*On September 1, 1950, at the dawn of the Cold War, the italian 
physicist Bruno Pontecorvo and his family mysteriously disappeared. This 
created a real political earthquake in Europe and the USA: Pontecorvo 
was in fact a scientist known around the world for his expertise in a 
very delicate area, that of nuclear research. The story of his 
disappearance is one of the most fascinating mysteries related to the 
atomic era, especially when it became known that he had crossed the Iron 
Curtain and moved to the Soviet Union in 1950.
Bruno Pontecorvo was born 100 years ago and his unique life was strongly 
interlaced with 20th century history and with the development of 
particle physics. With his exceptional theoretical intuitions, which 
went hand in hand with his brilliant qualities as an experimental 
physicist, Bruno Pontecorvo is the scientist that, more than anyone 
else, has entered the secrets of the most elusive and enigmatic particle 
of our universe, the neutrino.
Free entry.
