An AI film by Sebastiano Vitale
In a small Italian town outside Milan, a clerk grows suspicious of an
elderly woman renewing her ID, thick makeup, a crooked wig, and the
faint shadow of stubble beneath the powder.
The truth unravels fast: the “woman” is actually her 56-year-old son,
a former nurse, dressed in his dead mother’s clothes.
Police search the family home and find her mummified body, hidden for
two years while her son wore her cardigan, carried her cane, and
signed her name.
THE DISGUISE is the true story of grief, fraud, and the disturbing
lengths one man went to keep the illusion of his mother alive.
