The Venetian Man

The Venetian Man is a psychological sci-fi thriller set in a glitching, surveillance-soaked Venice. Marco Escher—haunted by false memories and impossible reflections—discovers he’s one of hundreds of failed clones trapped in a looping experiment.

As suppressed memories resurface, Marco is hunted by perfected versions of himself and drawn toward Eila, the woman he was programmed to forget. His journey leads to a hidden AI designed to erase emotion—and a final reckoning with his original self: Cycle Zero.

Blending the tension of Inception, the paranoia of Mr. Robot, and the conceptual depth of Severance, the film explores identity, memory, and rebellion.
