The young girl, an insomniac. The mother, an artist. The dog, named Marcel. The little girl loves her mother immensely, but her mother loves Marcel more than anything else. Will an unpredictable event allow those circles of love to reconnect?

Pietro and Alvise come from a long line of fishing families from Giudecca, Venice's most 'working-class' island. But they don't see eye to eye on the seemingly unstoppable transformation of the lives of the Venetians and the city's very identity. Indeed, the far-reaching impact of global tourism has changed the relationship between Venice and its residents, and the pandemic has only thrown this critical situation into relief. Pietro would just like to keep fishing the typical crabs found in the Lagoon, lonely as that lifestyle is, while Alvise believes their home on the Giudecca itself is the ticket to joining the elite managing the city's real estate assets, hence running Venice. This clash of views will involve the entire family, in an ensemble film about how our world is changing.

В феврале 2020 года живущий в Риме документалист Андреа Сегре приехал в Венецию делать проект о туризме и наводнениях. В процессе съёмок он знакомился с местными жителями, постепенно приоткрывающими ему глаза на природу этого удивительного места. Врасплох ворвавшаяся пандемия окончательно изменила направление авторских исследований. Медленно, на глазах пустеющая от людей и лодок, успокаивающаяся и умолкающая Венеция предстаёт балансирующей между мифом и реальностью, сном и явью, приглашая в путешествие к неуловимой сути явлений, скрытой от первого взгляда.

Naples, Trajan's district. Initially it was intended for the inhabitants of the shantytowns on the seafront of Naples, who were homeless after the war. But it soon became a kind of ghetto. Alessandro and Pietro are two teenagers who film with an iPhone to tell their difficult neighborhood, their daily life, the friendship that binds them.

The film describes how Albanian graves were opened by Greeks and the contents moved and re-identified as being the bones of Greek soldiers from World War II.
