C’è qualcosa in casa
Something has snuck into Andrea’s home to annoy him as much as possible: it hides his things, it wakes him up at night, it slips around suddenly behind his back. Unfortunately it’s not his imagination, as his friends who come to visit notice it too, and so does Andrea, who barely sleeps at night and falls asleep during the day, especially at school, where he ends up being teased by his classmates and told off by the teachers. Tired of the situation, he has an idea to confront Something: he’ll wear masks inspired by his beloved superheroes. It works: things don’t disappear anymore and he can go back to sleeping at night. One evening though, while he’s going with his parents to a friend’s house, he notices that Something is following him to attack. Andrea will also have to face Chadia, the classmate who inspired his most powerful mask. As long as Something allows him to wear it. As long as Chadia allows Something to come between her and Andrea.
