PLOT : After surviving World War II, American war-hero Colonel Richard Cantwell begins his journey in a new post-war era. Internally, he is plagued by the horrors he witnessed and the friends he lost. After being recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, the colonel makes his way to Venice to have a quiet weekend of solitude. While driving through the city with his military driver, visiting all the places that haunt his mind, Cantwell has a chance encounter with a 'one of kind woman'. As his plans unravel, so does his lack of belief in the chance to begin again. Based on the 1950 novel by Ernest Hemingway, this is a story about love, war, and hope in which Cantwell discovers that life has fleeting moments and it is up to you to make the most of the time you have left.
