A Bridge Between: Northern Italy Come Hell or High Water

A simple family vacation intended to satisfy an old man's wish to revisit his ancestral village quickly becomes a journey filled with adversity, perseverance and revelation. For a family crossing northern Italy, the beauty of the region provides a colorful backdrop while their past weaves together with the present and they come to terms with a new reality. They struggle to keep their heads above water in Venice, battle Comacchian eel on the Adriatic coast and endure a frantic game of hide and seek in Ravenna. They nourish their bodies and souls in Emilia-Romagna, best a belligerent agent in Bellagio and reflect on love and loss in winter's shadow on Lake Como. From Venice to Savona, vivid landscapes and historic venues blend in a family love story about aging with grace and determination.

As a generation of baby boomers confronts the long-term care of their parents, A BRIDGE BETWEEN transcends the role of travelogue to become a socially relevant commentary on devotion, acceptance, and the evolution of familial relationships.
