Hubris Pictures

Claudia, a 25-year-old with serious insecurities, rents the upper floor of a isolated house. There she meets Letizia, a charming woman who introduces her to metaphony. That innocent game soon turns into a nightmare.

Moving from your homeland to another country is no less risky than an astronaut’s first step into outer space.

In the Venetian lagoon, to board boats and ferries, one must first take a few steps onto a floating platform called an imbarcadero. In Chioggia, near Venice, among the many docking points, there lives an imbarcadero much like the others. But this one has a problem. It has been abandoned and for far too long, no one has walked upon it. No foot deigns to tread on it, and even more importantly, all the boats ignore it. There was just one boat that, once upon a time, made it wobble. Theirs wasn’t exactly a love story. It was more like a dance, a game of chase, a recognizing and ignoring. It wasn’t even a real infatuation. In the murky sea and the placid lagoon, what this imbarcadero experienced was a simple, overpowering crush.
