The documentary explores the mysterious belief in the ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฐ๐ค๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ฐโthe evil eyeโan age-old superstition whispered only among family and confidants, its lineage stretching back to the Roman Empire. While versions of this belief exist across cultures, the film highlights the distinctly Italian interpretation, revealing how modern pop culture seeks to explain, parody, or unravel its power.
Despite its ancient origins, the shadow of the ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฐ๐ค๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ฐ lingers. For many Italian Canadian descendants, it is more than folkloreโit is a haunting reminder of heritage, carrying with it both unspoken dread and inherited reverence. As the story follows this tension between tradition and modern identity, it uncovers the deep psychological imprint that the so-called โcurseโ continues to leave on new generations.
This TLN Studios original production is part of TLN Media Groupโs extensive catalogue of Canadian-made content that celebrate the passions, stories, and voices that define our communities, preserving them for generations to come, and making them available to audiences within Canada and around the globe.
