Synopsis

Successful illustrator Daniele Mallarico travels to Naples to look after his four-year-old grand-son while his daughter is away for a few days. What begins as a simple babysitting job turns into a subtle psychological duel, as the child’s boundless imagination slowly unsettles him. Trapped together in the apartment, Daniele is forced to confront something far more disturbing than a mischievous child: the fear of aging and the loss of creativity. Through this strange encounter, he may rediscover the power of imagination he thought he had lost.
