Meet Me in Venice

Liza (Roberta Petzoldt) is in the blossom of her life. She’s in a relationship and mother of a three year old boy. Liza never knew her Italian father Mauro (Beppe Costa). He left her when she was three and went travelling as a musician through Europe. One day Liza receives a letter from him, asking her to come to Venice to get to know each other. Liza decides to go, and the journey turns out to take her much further than to Venice alone. Mauro is taking Liza on a musical journey though the countries of the Orient Express route: from the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, the old part of Zagreb, the northern lands of Serbia, the countryside of Bulgaria to the enchantment of the city Istanbul, the final destination of their journey. The story of father and daughter takes us through the colorful countries of the Balkans. We can see the relationship between Liza and Mauro evolve, through time and space. They have a rough start but as they get to know each other more and more they realize how much alike they actually are. When Liza arrives in The Netherlands, she realizes that the journey with her father was very valuable. She decides to capture her experiences on camera, so when her son is older, he will understand why she made certain choices. Produced by San Fu Maltha.
