| Summary |
During the occupation of Italy in 1945 Cenzo rescues Guilia, a Jew, from a lagoon in Venice. She is on the run from the Wehrmacht SS and Cenzo helps her hide from the SS. This leads them to a world of random executions, the arts of forgery and high explosives, Mussolini's broken promises, the black market and gold, and, everywhere, the enigmatic maze of the Venice Lagoon. |
