Synopsis
"A Ghost at the Intercom"
A dark and allegorical noir set in the gritty dockside streets of Genoa.
Enrico is the driver for the Beluga nightclub, a shady establishment tucked away in the alleys near Genoa’s port. His job is to escort drunken sailors back to their ships, but outside his car, the streets are a battleground for rival drug lords who wouldn’t think twice about pulling the trigger.
But Enrico’s past is nothing like his present. Memories of a different life creep into his thoughts, filled with regret and longing for what is forever lost. As he gets entangled in the world of crime, drawn in by a sailor trafficking small amounts of cocaine, Enrico realizes he’s surprisingly adept at navigating this dark underworld. Yet he is haunted by the idea that he’s struck a deal with the devil himself.
As a drug deal turns into a moment of reckoning, Enrico is caught between the light and the darkness—between the glow of the port’s iconic Lantern, a symbol of strength and virtue, and the shadows that have taken root inside him. Will he confront his inner demons, or will the darkness consume him entirely?
"A Ghost at the Intercom" is a psychological and allegorical noir, a gripping tale of guilt, redemption, and the haunting power of a past that refuses to let go.
The gloomy atmosphere of the night on the alleys, the rags of mist moving ghostly to hide small rusty boats or huge container carriers, the distant lights of lonely light bulbs and long old neon, the majestic and indifferent Lanterna.
Enrico is the driver of the Beluga Night Club and escorts to the berth sailors who have had too much to drink and who, without a ride in the car, would perhaps not even find their ship again.
Under the rain beating down on the car's windshield, however, a dispute is brewing between the old underworld of smuggling and illegal gambling and the new underworld, which trades in drugs and settles anyone who tries to thwart it with a volley of machine guns.
The clash is imminent, palpable in the air, but Enrico has other things to think about: he is still looking for his point of no return, he must defeat the Devil.
An Italian-style noir, full of nostalgia and where a poignant, romantic melancholy hovers.
