STORY
by Anna Pavignano (from the novel "Venezia, un sogno." by Anna Pavignano - edizioni e/o)
Venice continues to sink and becomes more unlivable every day. Thomas, an American relocated in Italy for more than forty years, together with his adopted grandson who has just arrived from Niger, devises a daring protest to save his city and family home, becoming, despite himself, a little hero.
The memories of a life lived intensely, his combative and apparently coarse character, give him the strength to contrast the will of his son who wants to sell everything, leave Venice and move the family, including Thomas, to a city in northern Italy, which for the aged American means the loss of one's identity.
