Difendimi dalla notte (1982)
Late at night, Angelo returns from a mission in Africa and slips behind the wheel of a taxi, navigating a city he barely recognizes. Shrouded in darkness, its streets pulse with a strange, unsettling energy. But the true nightmare begins when he finally reaches home. Confronted by sudden eruptions of senseless violence and drawn into a web of increasingly twisted personal entanglements, Angelo is forced down a harrowing path. As he ventures ever deeper into the abyss of the night, he finds himself changed in ways he never could have imagined.
