A beautiful adaptation of A Splendid Defect by Arthur Japin.
At a party near Venice, fourteen-year-old Lucia falls in love with seventeen-year-old Giacomo Casanova. For both of them, this is their first great love. They promise eternal fidelity, but Lucia disappears shortly thereafter without a word, which changes Casanova's view of women forever. What really happened? Was it a forgotten holiday romance, or did Lucia leave her happiness behind?
This coming-of-age story from days gone by, in which we can cherish and mirror ourselves, forms the basis of this super romantic and poetic performance. A story full of intrigue, at the intersection of Bridgerton and Poor Things. A sensual story in a bed of opera music, in hot but breathtaking Italy.
