Teacher Sergio moves to an Italian village with an unusually blissful atmosphere. He soon learns the community’s secret: a 15-year-old boy who seemingly has the power to heal emotional pain.
Read moreIn his third feature, director Paolo Strippoli continues to explore the horror genre, building a story around humanity’s desire to shield itself from suffering. But what happens if pain is removed entirely? With lush cinematography and a creeping sense of unease, the film draws viewers into what becomes a violent clash between the villagers and the outsider – and a young boy’s search for identity.
The Holy Boy blends magical realism, folk horror, and thriller elements into a compelling and unsettling cinematic experience.
