Experiencing Interruptions?

Sighs

On the touching notes of the musical piece "Pour la Lune" a girl walks through the bare streets of Venice, plagued by Covid-19.
Alone, deprived of every contact with the surrounding world, the main character dwells on the bittersweet memories of a past too close to be forgotten, yet helplessly fading away. The vivid memory of the just-ended relationship lingers in her mind, despite being nothing more than a mere recollection, vanished from reality.
The city on water feels grey and hollow, and is home to the young girl’s lonesome feelings, whose nostalgia flows out of the notes of a song with no words.
