Mal’occhio – The Evil Eye

What happens when you realize that your family is part of a global superstition that is neither spoken about openly nor even referred to by name? Filmmaker Agata De Santis sets out on a quest to uncover the world of Mal’occhio – The Evil Eye where one can become physically ill by another’s envious glances, where the only remedy is a phone call to the old woman down the street, and prevention involves wearing strange-looking amulets. Agata travels to Italy, New York, and to her mother’s kitchen in Montreal to decide once and for all if the evil eye is real.
