Erminio Spalla

Faithful live action adaptation of Carlo Collodi's classic novel about an animated puppet that desires to become a real boy.

In Ducal Venice, a series of heinous crimes are mysteriously committed concomitantly to the arrival of a gondola, by the popular fantasy called "the devil's gondola". Suspicion falls on a gondolier until recently unemployed and who now enjoys good earnings, of which he says he can not confess the origin, and which he obtains by working at night.
