The Den movie

🎬 Title: The Den / La tana

Story: At nineteen, Giulio chooses to spend his summer vacation at home, assisting his parents in their garden rather than traveling. Soon, a twenty-year-old girl named Lia moves into the vacant house next door. Eager to connect with her, Giulio finds her reserved and withdrawn. Their paths cross one day when Lia pretends to drown him in the lake, igniting his curiosity. Giulio, a kind and thoughtful young man, becomes increasingly captivated by her as thoughts of Lia consume his mind. As she introduces him to peculiar and increasingly perilous “games,” she maintains silence about her past. Lia claims she’s only here to revisit her family’s old home, which has been neglected for years, but she’s hiding secrets and forbids anyone from entering the deserted house.
