Adele is suffering from a terrifying recurring dream; a dream that often borders on reality, and even enters it in the form of horrible visions which climax during an evening stroll in the center of Rome. The medical findings don't reveal anything noteworthy and her brother, who was with her that evening, is diagnosed with a simple seizure. Faced with a general skepticism, Adele has no other choice but to turn to the unconventional, so she decides to seek out Dylan Dog - a paranormal investigator
Where to Watch
Diversity & Representation
Overall Score

Category Breakdown
LGBTQ+ Representation
The film lacks explicit evidence of LGBTQ+ characters or narratives. The central mystery focuses on Adele and her brother, leaving non-cisnormative identities unconfirmed.
Gender Representation
Adele serves as the central protagonist, demonstrating agency by seeking paranormal help. However, the plot follows traditional frameworks of a distressed female lead.
Racial & Ethnic Diversity
Set in Rome, the film appears to lean toward a conventional European demographic. There is no indication of a non-white or diverse cast.
Religious & Cultural Diversity
The story explores the tension between medical science and the paranormal. It follows a standard mystery progression without critiquing Western cultural norms.
Disability Representation
The narrative touches on neurodivergence through Adele’s visions and her brother’s seizure. It remains unclear if these conditions are handled with true agency.
Strengths
- The film places a female protagonist at the center of the psychological tension.
- Adele demonstrates agency by pursuing unconventional solutions to her visions.
Areas for Improvement
- The narrative relies on traditional 'distressed protagonist' frameworks for its female lead.
- The film lacks explicit representation of LGBTQ+ identities or non-cisnormative narratives.
- The setting and cast appear to follow conventional, localized European demographics.
AI Analysis
The film operates primarily within the established tropes of the mystery and thriller genres. While it centers on a female lead navigating psychological distress, the narrative lacks the intentionality needed to disrupt traditional social hierarchies. Representation is largely conventional, focusing on a localized Italian setting and standard genre archetypes. The inclusion of medical and paranormal themes provides some interest in invisible conditions, but these may function more as plot devices than deep character studies. Ultimately, the work does not provide complex, intersectional representation across the analyzed categories, sticking instead to a predictable genre structure.
