Polvere Sotto Al Tappeto

Polvere sotto al tappeto is a dramatic horror short film directed by Gianluca Volpe, centered on a man who murders his partner after discovering her betrayal and constructs a network of narcissistic justifications to legitimize his act.

The narrative unfolds entirely from the protagonist’s subjective perspective, with the voice in his head taking the form of his murdered partner, collapsing guilt, denial and self-absolution into a single distorted inner dialogue.

The score aligns with this corrupted point of view: the music appears ordered, controlled and deceptively positive, suggesting clarity and emotional balance where none truly exist. By adopting the protagonist’s internal logic, the music amplifies the psychological horror, exposing the fracture between apparent rationality and moral collapse.
