Divino Inferno tells the unsuspected story of La Porte de l’Enfer (The Gates of Hell), one of the most enigmatic masterpieces in the history of art and the inspiration for the entire oeuvre of sculptor Auguste Rodin.

Bruno Aveillan has made this film from the perspective of a visual artist. Together with writer Zoé Balthus, he explores all the secrets behind the creation of the monument, while painting the portrait of a visionary Rodin.

The duo worked with dancers and contemporary artists such as Mircea Cantor to create a poetic, sensory film that blends the visual arts, dance and literature, offering a new reading of the work of one of the greatest sculptors of all time.
