A study of the friendship between a Chinese woman and a fisherman who came to Italy from Yugoslavia many years ago, who live in a small city-island in the Veneto lagoon.
Andrea Segre's wispy drama of displacement is played so pianissimo you sometimes barely hear it, but it's worth straining an ear for.
There is much to savour in this poignant feature by the former documentary-maker Andrea Segre: not least its tough, uncliched view of Venice.
A lyrical romance of two lonely souls connecting.
Francois Couturier’s score is overly emphatic in places in tugging at our heartstrings, but the film’s gentle humanity is to be cherished.
A moving and elegiac portrait of dispossessed souls.
The pathos of Andrea Segre’s film may be a little contrived yet is still hard to resist.
