🎬 Title: Bad Tales / Favolacce
Once upon a time, a dream faded into oblivion
Story: In a quaint suburb outside Rome, the joyful warmth of summer belies an oppressive atmosphere of disconnection. At first glance, families appear typical, yet this is merely a facade: within their homes, silence conceals the subtle cruelty of fathers, the passivity of mothers, and the complacent indifference of adults. Ultimately, it’s the hidden despair and pent-up anger of the children that will burst forth, shattering this grotesque veneer and leading to catastrophic repercussions for the entire neighborhood.
