The premise

An unidentified fifteen year-old girl is found hanged after an anonymous tip-off. The girl, Silvia Polvesi, is soon discovered to have been murdered. A peeping tom is caught with photos of her having sex with a teenage drop-out but he is later released due to lack of evidence. The investigation, conducted by Inspector Silvestri and the assistant public prosecutor Vittoria Stori, focuses on the girl's parents. Conspiracies and horrors pile up, as do the body parts.

Horror Vault's take

When a teenage girl turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, a determined inspector and a sharp-eyed public prosecutor begin pulling at threads that unravel something far darker than a single crime. What starts as a murder inquiry spirals into a labyrinth of exploitation, cover-ups, and cascading violence. This Italian giallo-adjacent thriller doesn't flinch from the ugliness lurking beneath respectable surfaces, delivering mounting dread with each new revelation. Fans of 1970s Euro crime-horror will find it relentlessly escalating.
