One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Alfred Rott is a cantankerous architect who embarks on an unusual creation for an eccentric billionaire who calls himself the Grand Duke of Corsica. When a deadly malaria epidemic hits the island and causes panic, he continues on to finish the job.
"The central narrative of 'The Obscure Life of the Grand Duke of Corsica' is interwoven with scenes of 13th-century monks and lepers, while a subplot about the Maltese authorities' efforts to control a malaria outbreak suggests the script was being rewritten as the pandemic unfolded. A sober, elegant, and funny movie."
