referring to the good and evil dualism. In view of a possible
international distribution, the movie will be shot in English

A
bunch of guys decides to spend a night in Leri Cavour to celebrate
the bachelor party of Andrew in a different way. Leri is a completely
uninhabited village in Piedmont (in the North-West of Italy),
