In a sleepy provincial town in 1992, siblings Filippo and Martina cling to the promise of their patron saint’s festival—a fleeting escape from their oppressive family life. But when Serafina’s Spider Woman carnival attraction rolls into the square, their world unravels. Drawn into a macabre spectacle, the children confront a realm where hidden desires feed a monstrous force, launching them on a harrowing quest for redemption. Blending eerie folklore with raw emotional depth, Musolino crafts a visceral tale of innocence shattered, the ghosts of memory, and the desperate search for light in the darkest corners of the human soul.
