Julia Gutweniger and Florian Kofler embarked on a journey into the engine room of Adriatic tourism. VISTA MARE will be a film about the people we spend our holidays with year after year without realising it – a look into the lives and work of those who work while we enjoy our holidays.

Twelve-year-old Tomy spends the summer of the 1999 solar eclipse with his best friend Chris on an alpine pasture. When Chris learns that Tomy's father is in hospital with AIDS, their friendship falls apart – and Tomy suddenly finds himself torn between exclusion and the secrecy of his own family.
