L'apprendista Pulcinella

London, 1888. A portly-looking man is in a psychoanalyst's office. The hypnosis session begins: the man is lost in a distorted architecture inhabited by characters with monstrous deformities. The psychoanalyst tries to bring the patient out of his trance, but in the dream dimension he finds him crouching over a prostitute with knives and bloody hands.

A young girl is going through puberty, conflicted with herself and her childhood. She is intrigued by a niche inhabited by a creature: this will be responsible for a tragic metamorphosis: growing up.
