[Synopsis]
Winter 1999. A small ferry crosses the venice lagoon. Camilla, a shy eighteen year-old who has just arrived from her small town to study Russian literature at the University, spots a boy among the crowd. He too is a new arrival carrying a suitcase. The two exchange looks: hers are reserved, his bolder. Ten Winters is a love story, or better yet the prologue to a love story: a ten year prologue told in tableaux. Each winter opens a window in to the lives of two people who nevercompletely lose touch but continues growing, marked by their difficult but glorious entry into adulthood.
