A sports teacher moves to a seemingly peaceful mountain village. But behind this tranquility lies a disturbing secret that will turn his life and that of the villagers upside down.
With The Holy Boy, Paolo Strippoli heralds the revival of Italian genre cinema. Driven by a surprising script that doesn't forget emotion, the film fully embraces its fantastical nature, somewhere between intimate drama and supernatural mystery. It offers us a powerful, sincere, and deeply moving work.
