Mother Nocturna is a 2022 psychological horror movie about a wolf biologist who returns to her family after a lengthy hospitalization in a mental institution. As the moon’s occult power transforms her mind and body, she is drawn toward a path of destruction.
Synopsis: After a prolonged hospitalization in a mental institution, Agnese, a dedicated wolf biologist, returns to her estranged family. Her introverted daughter, Arianna, lives in a world of dance but struggles with their fractured relationship. Her husband, Riccardo, a doctor, fights to keep the crumbling family together. As Agnese reconnects with her family, she is inexplicably drawn to the moon’s eerie influence, which distorts her mind and transforms her body. Visions of the enigmatic “God of the Woods” bleed into her reality, igniting a terrifying descent into madness. When Riccardo falls gravely ill due to the pandemic, Agnese and Arianna are left to confront their haunted past. Isolated in a secluded house surrounded by dark woods, they are engulfed by nightmarish visions and malevolent entities that threaten to unravel their fragile existence.
