In a dystopian Venice, humble fisherman Felice finds out his deceased wife isn't actually dead, having faked her suicide to disappear from his life. Only, now she's back, and wants their daughter too!
Acting
Celentano and Rampling's chemistry is bonkers—she's slumming, he's swinging.
Production
Flooded Venice sets built entirely on soundstages—pure Italo-cinema excess.
Score
Celentano's own songs woven into the narrative like emotional tidal waves.

Director
Adriano Celentano
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Celentano built a massive Venice replica in his own Milan studio, complete with canals that malfunctioned constantly and electrocuted crew members.
This was Italy's most expensive film at the time, a catastrophic box office bomb that nearly bankrupted Celentano's production company—and he never directed again.
