2004100 min7.5 / 10

A slow-burn psychological thriller about a mysterious man imprisoned by routine and hidden secrets, built on ambiguity and existential dread.

Lugano, Switzerland. Titta Di Girolamo is a discreet and sullen man who has been living for almost a decade in a modest hotel room, a prisoner of an atrocious routine, apparently without purpose. His past is a mystery, nobody knows what he does for a living, he answers indiscreet questions evasively. What secrets does this enigmatic man hide?
