“Everyone has a dark secret”

DramaThriller

Lugano, Switzerland. Titta Di Girolamo is a discreet and sullen man who has been living for almost a decade in a modest hotel room, a prisoner of an atrocious routine, apparently without purpose. His past is a mystery, nobody knows what he does for a living, he answers indiscreet questions evasively. What secrets does this enigmatic man hide?

VIBE

This is a deeply atmospheric and quietly unsettling experience, steeped in a pervasive sense of mystery and melancholic introspection. It feels like a meticulously crafted character study, slowly unraveling the weight of a hidden past with a palpable, almost suffocating tension. Expect a journey into the quiet desperation of a life lived in shadows.
