Ludovico Romano is an old man living in a busy and beautiful city. Even with it all he still views the world in an uncanny perspective, keeping his old ways and traditions and using it as a guide to try survive in the modern world. He tries to fit in and live like his usual self but there is this certain factor that holds him back permanently. And even after all this time, Ludovico still does not understand why he does the things that he does.
The endless swaying waters of the canals, the sensitive bridges that go over it, the gentle sidewalks that hold the city, and the tiny purpose of its modern buildings mixed in with the old.
Venice is a place where dreams find their other half. Every sight in the city can hold a special place in anyone's heart as a chreishable memory to be keep in mind. But things are not always what they seem.
For what comes after love is always a burden, and memories are forgotten.
