In the Darkness of Water (2026)

Nel Buio Dell'Acqua

For three decades, Mauro Morandi has called the secluded Italian island of Budelli home, living completely apart from society. Now 83, this devoted guardian tirelessly protects the island’s pristine natural beauty, despite his advancing years. But his peaceful world shatters when he learns he faces eviction—while simultaneously, a mysterious voice urges him to leave his solitary life behind and rejoin civilization. Caught between these two forces, a deeply unsettled Mauro must confront an agonizing conflict: the painful possibility of abandoning the island he loves, with which he shares an unbreakable, almost mystical bond.
