Synopsis
Giuseppe Di Matteo - son of the informer Sabatino - was kidnapped in Sicily in 93 and held captive for days before being brutally liquefied in acid. In Sicilian Ghost Story, reality mixes with imagination, and the love between Giuseppe and Luna tries to overcome the code of silence and be stronger than it. A pure and alive feeling that does not surrender to the absence and sudden disappearance of Giuseppe. It tries to find justice and challenges mystery and death.
