Venice, a city deserted. Filming while wearing protective masks, filming in a northern Italy that has been devastated by the coronavirus.
Markus Frings and Marco Polo, both from South Tyrol, needed special permission to travel through northern Italy. They wore masks and gloves to protect themselves from the virus. They filmed checkpoints and nighttime disinfection crews cleaning the streets. They talked to virologists, local business people and of course the residents themselves.
Cameraman Marco shows us how his family in Bolzano has come to terms with these exceptional times of closed schools and restricted movement. And we learn that many Italians appear to have adjusted to this most abnormal of new normalities.
