Vista Mare

Documentary Film, AT/IT 2023, DCP, 80 min, 5.4. OmeU / 9.4. OmdU

Umbrellas, pools, postcards: the Adriatic coast as a projection screen for la dolce vita. Over the course of a season, Vista Mare looks behind the scenes of a beach holiday and sea views, showing what doesn’t belong in this sweet life: hard work in the form of thousands of manual operations that make the great promise of a little paradise possible in the first place. A look behind the façades of a well-oiled, unseen machine that makes the holiday dream come true.
