Venice

Venice is a magically beautiful adaptation of three short stories by Wlodzimierz Odojewski. It is summer of 1939. Following the family tradition, 11 year old Marek is about to visit Venice for the first time. But when the conflict between Poland and Germany intensifies, he is sent to a small village to live with his aunts in a vast mansion. There, in a flooded basement, they recreate Venice which becomes a backdrop for emotional transformation of film characters. Somewhere between his dreams, Venice, and the war, Marek must prematurely transform from a boy into a man.
