Venice, a city deserted. Filming while wearing protective masks, filming in a northern Italy that has been devastated by the coronavirus.
Markus Frings and Marco Polo, both from South Tyrol, needed special permission to travel through northern Italy. They wore masks and gloves to protect themselves from the virus. They filmed checkpoints and nighttime disinfection crews cleaning the streets. They talked to virologists, local business people and of course the residents themselves.
