🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a grim tapestry of human frailty and despair, relying on the stark contrast between the town's pious surface and its moral decay. It explores the dark recesses of the soul where religion and tradition fail against primal urges and existential dread.

What lingers after viewing is a profoundly unsettling yet captivating portrait of a community where the line between man and beast blurs, and salvation takes on a disturbingly ambiguous form. A challenging, thought-provoking descent into the abyss. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Alberto Cavallone

Watch alone late at night, prepared for a disquieting, philosophical meditation on human nature.
