This
short film opens in Via San Gregorio Armeno, the famous street of vendors of nativity scenes in the centre of Naples. Little Jake stops to admire the
statues of Pulcinella on display in one of the small shops, while his parents look for him in the crowd.
That
same night, back at the hotel, he has a nightmare: an enormous Pulcinella eats
him and he finds himself in a cave, Sibyl’s Cave in Cuma (NA). He’s then
marched by lots of Pulcinellas to the Casina Vanvitelliana hunting lodge on Lake
Fusaro in Bacoli (NA). Inside,
the boy sees his parents dancing in their wedding clothes in the Succorpo Vanvitelliano, an underground
church at the Real Casa della SS Annunziata in Naples.
When he’s taken away from there too, Jack finds himself in a bed at the doll hospital, at the former Filangieri Nursery in Naples.

During a stroll around San Gregorio Armeno, a couple of parents on a day trip to Naples lose their young son when he stops in front of a street vendor, fascinated by the statuettes of Pulcinella. The same night, back at the hotel, little Jake has a terrible nightmare.
