Perduta gente

In a neglected suburban landscape suspended between decay and desire, nineteen-year-old Valerio follows two older friends into a night that promises freedom, belonging, and escape. At an illegal rave, where drugs, desire, and violence blur into one another, he is pushed beyond a point of no return. Forced to confront his desperate need for acceptance, Valerio discovers how easily vulnerability can turn into violence. Perduta Gente is a haunting coming-of-age story about masculinity, silence, and the cycle of abuse.
