For days, Turin's citizens have been saying they hear voices and shouts coming from the statues in town. Many people suffer from insomnia and gather unconsciously near the statues. The police are completely in the dark. A crime wave hits the city. Until a masked man who calls himself Ratavoloira tries to get the situation in hand.
