Synopsis

Set in Peru during the 18th century, five people, on separate journeys for different reasons, cross the bridge at San Luis Rey by happenstance at the same time on the fateful day of July 20, 1714. When the bridge collapses, all five plunge to their deaths in the deep gorge below. After their burial, Brother Jupiter (Bryne) embarks on a controversial study to determine the connections between those lost in the catastrophe. Along with The Inquisition, presided over by The Archbishop of Lima (De Niro), they work to establish a theory in memoriam of the victims and unravel the mystery of the bridge and the ties that bind its victims.
