A tale of a unique and fragile city - Venice - that is slowly disappearing, suffocated by tourism and threatened by climate change.
A voice from a distant future tells of a vanished city that was once among the most famous in the world, Venice. Amidst legends, rituals and hearsay, the narrator describes its daily life made of boats and its profound relationship with the lagoon surrounding it. Did that city ever exist? There is magic captured in this beautiful, unusual film. It is not only about “the most beautiful city” in the world, but about every other city too. This is the Venice that Marco Polo carried in his mind on his travels. The cinematography, the graphics, the sound design, the historical perspective all work together and what emerges is even greater than the sum of those remarkable parts. (Subtitles)
