She starts going to Tulpa, a nightclub where strange and mysterious sexual desires, which can give birth to real demons, are satisfied.

The cast is completed by Michela Cescon, Michele Placido, Ivan Franek, Federica Vincenti and Nuot Arquint.

Produced by Italian Dreams Factory, Tulpa will continue touring Europe for the entire summer.

Between the end of June and the month of July, the film has been selected to participate in four major European festivals dedicated to the genre: Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival (Switzerland), Moscow International Film Festival (Russia), Grossman Film & Wine Fest (Slovenia) and Fantasy Film Fest (Germany). The film has been sold successfully across Europe, where it will soon be distributed in France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia and the Benelux countries, as well as in Korea and Australia.
