"Viva la libertà!" Alone in a secluded mansion Giacomo Casanova cries out, then collapses. When the mysterious and beautiful writer Elisa van der Recke comes to visit, it breathes new life into the old man and he decides to begin a new life... This movie captures the myth of the greatest seducer of all times, Casanova. His story is told both through fiction and on-stage performances that unravel the tale of his adventures, his passions, and ultimately his fear of death. (MFFK Febiofest)
