ARLECCHINO vs PULCINELLA – Short Carnival Movie
This short movie gets inspiration from the Italian Carnival’s traditional masks, also known as Commedia dell’Arte.
Pulcinella grew up hiding a terrible secret about his childhood, after escaping from the maleficent Doctor Balanzone and his demoniac experiments. He ran away bringing with him only his mask and his fear, leaving behind the closest family he had.
When his eternal love Colombina asks him to give up his simple life as pizza maker to save her brother Arlecchino from demons that possess him, Pulcinella decides to grab the peel of revenge and face the shadows of his past!
Now the two legendary masks will fight the most epic battle in this bloody Carnival!
