About the film

Venice is trapped by its own beauty. It has 48,000 inhabitants, as against 60,000 daily visitors. Overwhelmed by the incessant swarm of tourists, who take photos without observing and who walk timing themselves, the Venetians we meet in the film guide us in a judicious, denouncing and disdainful journey. We see the behind the scenes of the Carnivals; we touch the mortar of the enchanted palaces; we experience the daily life of those who live inside the showcase in which Venice, tormented by business and marketing, languishes.
