2016 - 24' - Italian (Available subtitles: English, German)
Winter is the world of silence. The small town of Jesolo perfectly embodies this concept. Shutters closed, the noise of a distance car and the waves of the sea. Summer tourism seems to be a far memory. Looking closely, you realize that even in this long and almost uninhabited stretch life goes on and that you can finally see the most authentic side of this place.
During winter time it seems that Jesolo lives immersed in a giant muffled bubble, as if guarding a secret. The secret of the people who never leave this place. The point of view is of the city itself. It doesn't enter deeply the situations, but it touches gently the surface of each place. It doesn't need to know more. It goes around the place as in inner travel in search of his people while wondering about his being a touristic city.
