## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A Rome balcony in autumn, wind chimes rattling like bony fingers. A psychic’s throat slit mid-trance, hands still clutching tarot cards. The pianist stumbles in, sees the hollow doll left on the sill. A sharp-eyed reporter drags him through puppet shows and dollhouse museums to confront a killer who arranges children’s toys into haunting crime scenes. Argento toys with giallo’s gleaming edge.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, dread, surreal
