Plot

The plot of “The Arcane Sorcerer” revolves around the story of Giulia, a young and charming fortune teller living in a provincial town in 1930s Italy.

What follows is a weave of mystery, intrigue, and black magic, with Giulia and Bruno finding themselves caught in a struggle between dark and arcane forces.

This philosophical theme skillfully intertwines with the element of the occult, creating a rich and stimulating cinematic experience.
