Will Venice turn into a ghost town at nightfall?

The romantic idea of medieval Venice is long gone. Only a city without life remained as a memorial to a dead civilisation sieged by hungry tourists from around the globe. Only a few conservative Venetians are waiting here to die. The documentary sensitively shows the world of old Venetians, tourists and businessmen struggling for their place in the sun. It unveils a dangerous syndrom of our time that is symptomatic not only for Venice. The thoughtful and sensitive documentary is a tribute to brave hearts and positive spirits of the last real Venetians.
