When they follow Mother, out for hunting, Alma and Alex start a series of events which will make them discover the truth about the Shadows and their own reality.

Pantafa

Marta and her daughter Nina move to Malanotte, a small mountain village. The little girl has been suffering from hypnagogic paralysis for some time, a sleep disorder which can lead to hallucinatory states, and Marta thought that a bit of mountain air and distance from the frenetic rhythm of city life might benefit the little girl. However, the house they move into is anything but welcoming, and children are never seen playing in the streets of Malanotte. Nina’s symptoms begin to worsen from the very first night in the new house, and the little girl has more and more vivid nightmares in which a ghostly figure sits on her chest, immobilises her and steals her breath. For Marta, a single mother in a place she finds increasingly sinister, it will become harder every day to know what is best for her child.

Her ex-boyfriend joins her: his assignment is to make an industrial documentary on the preparation of wood pulp. Corso Salani is a true exception in the Italian film scene. A director and actor of undoubted quality, he is constantly committed to new projects that have originality as their main characteristic. This is the case of the series "I confini d'Europa" of which Imatra is the third chapter. Salani wants to explore places that are on the edges of that complex organism that is now the European Union.
