Alice is a normal girl from a loving family. The only problem is her grandfather, traumatized by the war and totally detached from reality. One day, the family leaves Abruzzo for a trip to Alberobello, Puglia, leaving Alice alone with her elderly relative. Alice meets her friend Gloria, and the two head into town together. However, they find themselves in the middle of a clash between cops and thugs. After the incident, they find a snake-shaped earring. The girls decide to put it on, and suddenly find themselves involuntarily attracted to evil. An adventure begins, with Gloria and Alice entering a world populated by spirits and visions.

Directed by Gian Tavarelli, Liberi (Break Free) centers on the freckle-faced Vince (Elio Germano), whose life in a Roman mountain village is unfulfilling, to say the least. His father Cenzo (Luigi Maria Burruano) lost his job after a local chemical plant closed; shortly afterward, Cenzo's wife Paola (Anita Zagaria) dumped him for a politician. Fed up, Vince travels to the beach town of Pescara and lands a job as a junior cook at a tourist resort. While there, he falls in love with Genny (Nicole Grimaudo), a waitress plagued by a phobia of traveling. Just as the romance begins to take off, Cenzo appears at Vince's doorstep demanding that his son help him get Paola back. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
