Venice(2015)

Venice is a comedy about a young man navigating life abroad while his mother struggles to stay connected from home. Josh finds himself in the titular Italian city, attempting to embrace the backpacking lifestyle, while his mum remains in Sydney, equally lost in the digital world of video calls. Their generational divide becomes the heart of the film as they try to bridge the distance between them—one fumbling through travel experiences, the other through technology. The clash between Josh's desire for independence and his mother's need to stay involved creates both humor and unexpected warmth. Venice captures the awkwardness of modern family relationships stretched across continents, where good intentions often get lost in translation.
