Daniele, a young man, lives in Sant’Erasmo, one of the islands of the Venice lagoon. He lives by his wits and is maginalised also by his peers, who share an intensely entertaining life centred on the ‘barchino’’s religion, a worship practice aimed at transforming the traditional, small motor boats used in the lagoon into dangerous, missile-like, competition boats by engineering increasingly powerful engines. Daniele also dreams of having a record-hitting ‘barchino’. The degradation spoiling the relationships, environment, and the life of a drifting generation is analysed through the eyes of Venice’s timeless landscape. The point of no return is reached with a foolish, parallel story of a violent male initiation that is bound to fail, but explodes and pulls the ghost city into a psychedelic ruin.
DIRECTOR
Born in 1972, Yuri Ancarani is an Italian video-artist and director. His works are an everchanging mix of documentary, cinema and art, and the research behind them is often aimed at exploring the grey areas of daily life that the artist himself ventures to penetrate. His last feature film, Atlantide, filmed in the Venice lagoon was released in cinemas in 2021. It was selected to compete in the Horizon section of the 78th edition of the Venice Film Festival and as best documentary at the David di Donatello Awards in 2022.

Salvo is a fisherman and lives a solitary life overwhelmed by his nostalgia for the past that he seems to be clinging on. This bubble of melancholy he lives in bursts when a macabre discovery is made: the corpse of a drowned immigrant. His desire to bring the dead body back to his wife, who is unaware of the tragic event, will push Salvo to set off for a long, uncertain journey. Very soon he will meet Lea on his way, his former partner, who will join him in this road-trip. The two ex-lovers will then have to face the ghosts of their tragic past once and for all.
