Filmed love. Almost a year has passed since their engagement, Clara and Enrico see each other whenever possible, especially at weekends. The 9.5 mm camera is always with Enrico, even today 18 October 1939. The glances at Clara are reciprocated. The Ligurian landscape of the Riviera di Levante contributes to the idyll, the crashing waves of the sea, the railroad rides between one place and another. The metaphor of the train entering the tunnel in Chierici, as after him in Hitchcock, is unequivocal. In a year and a few days the two will be getting married.
