Sixteen-year-old Jenny lives in New York. Born in Italy, she moved to the US at the age of two, to live with her grandmother after her mother died. Now, for the first time, she's returning to Italy, to Tuscany, to visit her father, James Crooks, a former surgeon and scholar of Etruscan archeology. She wants to visit all the places he's told her about, especially the Lake of the Idols, a remarkable archaeological site at the bottom of which numerous bronze Etruscan statuettes dating back over 3,000 years have been found. Neglected by her father, Jenny befriends a group of children from a foster home. One evening, the children decide to go her to the lake where, in a magical atmosphere, Jenny sees the souls of three Etruscan children appear. They ask her to recover three small bronze stolen from the lake long ago. Jenny realizes that her father keeps the statuettes locked up in his study. She breaks into his study and recovers the statues, only to discover a terrible secret.
"Sometimes monsters, ghosts and evil are nothing compared to what the human mind can conceive in everyday life. This film is not just for lovers of the genre, its versatility makes it suitable for a wider range of audiences. [...] I wanted to show a darker side of Tuscany. Classic postcard images are replaced here by a more intimate and mysterious atmosphere. [...] This film was originally conceived as a web movie. Internet is now the final frontier. It is a world full of potential and opportunities if you know how to seize them, which is an incentive for me, as well as a great exercise in creativity and organizational skills. It offers a real opportunity for the new generation of Italian independent cinema, which wants to create and be gain acclaim for genres beyond the classic comedy." [Riccardo Paoletti]
