Can’t believe I actually watched a good recent italian horror movie Unnecessary out of context spoiler: Jannik Sinner is on fire
Ένας καθηγητής φυσικής αγωγής μετακομίζει σε ένα απομονωμένο ορεινό χωριό όπου οι κάτοικοι φαίνεται να ζουν σε αδιατάρακτη γαλήνη, αλλά σύντομα ανακαλύπτει μια ανησυχητική τελετουργία. Μια φορά την εβδομάδα, οι ντόπιοι απαλλάσσονται από τον πόνο τους από ένα μοναχικό αγόρι που γεννήθηκε με τη δύναμη να γιατρεύει την ψυχή κάποιου μόνο με μια αγκαλιά. Προσπαθώντας να τον σώσει από αυτή την τρέλα, ο άνδρας απελευθερώνει τη σκοτεινή του πλευρά.
