Farse dei film

Overview

Postcards—and the forgotten act of sending and receiving them—belong to a bygone era. A Venetian gentleman has been collecting them for years, preserving especially the old ones from his city. Some messages written on the back struck him so deeply that they sparked his imagination. From there, two stories take shape: two children playing among the squares and the water; a Venice immersed in emptiness, silent and stripped of presences. With their head in the clouds and their gaze lost among the faded lines of ink, the viewer is drawn into a small journey between memory and disappearance, childhood and desolation, presence and absence.
