A most original interpretation of an E. A. Poe’s short novel, the film is set in the Belle Époque time and in the golden age of silent films.
A boy and a girl on a trip out of town, she is left alone and gets lured by an abandoned house, the danger, a hopeless safety. There lingers an unsettling anxiety between dream and reality. One amongst the first films by Mauro Mingardi, amateur filmmaker from Bologna, yet at ease with horror and dreamlike moods.
The double point of view about a perfect murder in a short 8mm film, which glues the viewer to the screen while paying tribute to Hitchcock.
