Angelo

Melina is a talented but impoverished artist whose passion is restoring forgotten frescoes. She receives an anonymous offer: restore the paintings in an ancient chapel on a secluded estate. The price is exorbitant. Angelo is a charismatic, influential figure in the shadowy art world. He's not a gangster, but his power is absolute, and his methods are manipulation and control. He sees Melina as his ideal "muse. "

Melina agrees, enchanted by the opportunity. With each passing day, the danger grows, as Melina senses a presence. Soon, Angelo appears, seeing her as his muse. The fresco she's restoring becomes a symbol of their relationship: an ancient depiction of a sorrowful woman. Melina realizes that Angelo sees it as a reflection of this woman, or an ideal image of himself. When the fresco is finished, he reveals the truth: he orchestrated their meeting so that she would become part of his life, his "collection." He takes her to his secret gallery, where all the works of art remind her of her. Melina realizes there's no turning back; she's forever trapped in his obsession.

"Did you think you were saving this fresco, Melina? You were simply bringing a part of my story back to life. Now your story is mine, and you will write it alongside me. You are my masterpiece. My life. Mine forever."
