Plot
Told her family will be returning to America soon, Lauren hatches a plan to travel to Venice with Daniel. Though they have money from a horse race (in which Julius actually loses the money betting on their chosen horse, but steals the money to take the trip by picking the pockets of the racegoers), they cannot cross the border without an adult. With Julius's help, the pair travel by train but miss their connection to Verona after Julius gets into a conversation during the stop at the Italian border. In the meantime, Lauren's family spark an international investigation, believing she has been abducted.Lauren King (Diane Lane) is a highly "book-smart" and affluent 13-year-old American girl living in Paris with her mother (Sally Kellerman) and stepfather (Arthur Hill). Daniel Michon (Thelonious Bernard) is a "street-smart" 13-year-old French boy who also lives in Paris with his father, a taxi driver. The two meet in the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, where Lauren's mother is becoming romantically interested in the director of the movie being filmed there, and where Daniel is taking a school trip, and they fall in love. Lauren and Daniel soon meet Julius Santorin (Laurence Olivier), a quirky but kind elderly man, literally by accident. Daniel is unimpressed by him, but he fascinates Lauren with stories of his life, telling of a tradition that if a couple kiss in a gondola beneath the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sunset while the church bells toll, they will be in love forever. Daniel punches George, the sleazy movie director friend of Lauren's mother, at Lauren's birthday party for making a crude innuendo about Lauren, and the two are forbidden to date. Lauren's mother fiercely objects to the romance.
They hitch a ride with a couple of American tourists, Bob and Janet Duryea (Andrew Duncan and Claudette Sutherland), who are headed to Venice. In Verona, the travelers go out to dinner together, where Bob discovers that his wallet has been stolen. Even though their winnings from the horse race were left on the train in Julius's vest, Julius offers to pay the bill with cash, perplexing Lauren and irritating Daniel, who suspects he stole it. The following morning at breakfast, the Duryeas notice Lauren's picture in an Italian newspaper, revealing her as a missing child. Julius has also seen the paper and intercepts Lauren and Daniel on their way back to the hotel, angry that Lauren lied to him about their true reason for going to Venice and that everyone will think he's a kidnapper.
Because they cannot go back to the hotel, they join a local bicycle race to escape Verona. Julius soon falls behind and Lauren persuades Daniel to go back for him. They find him collapsed from exhaustion. Daniel worms his background out of Julius, who also confesses that he both picked Bob's pocket and stole the money for their train tickets, disappointing Lauren. Lauren then reveals that she will be moving back to the United States permanently in two weeks. She wanted to take a gondola to the Bridge of Sighs and kiss Daniel so as they could love each other forever. She berates Julius by dismissing all his stories as lies. Julius admits he lied about some things but insists the legend is true. Daniel decides he still wants to go to Venice with Lauren, and Julius joins them.
In Venice, they spend the night in St Mark's Basilica, until a chance meeting with the Duryeas sets them on the run again hours before sunset. Julius hides them in a movie theater and gives them his remaining cash, promising to return a half-hour before sunset. As soon as they are inside, however, Julius turns himself in to police searching for them; despite being slapped around by an inspector, he refuses to reveal Lauren and Daniel's whereabouts. The two children fall asleep during the film and wake with just a few minutes remaining. Lauren and Daniel run to find a gondola, but most are already taken. They finally find an available gondolier; he takes them within sight of the bridge, but refuses to go further just as sunset arrives. Daniel pushes him into the canal and, as the bells of the Campanile begin chiming, the two pull the gondola by hand along the pilings toward the bridge; this successfully enables the gondola to glide under the bridge. While the bells are still pealing, Lauren and Daniel kiss and embrace. In the police station, Julius finally reveals the two children's whereabouts.
A few days later, Lauren is preparing to leave for home with her mother and stepfather. As she starts to get in the car, Lauren notices Daniel across the street waiting to say goodbye to her. Her mother starts to object, but her stepfather tells Lauren to go ahead, having warmed to the boy. She and Daniel share a final kiss, pledging not to become “like everybody else.” Lauren tearfully bids farewell to Julius, who is sitting on a nearby bench. She runs back to the car, and Daniel follows it as it leaves, he and Lauren waving at each other. (W.eng.)
Puntea Suspinelor (Venetia)
Puntea Suspinelor (în italiană Ponte dei Sospiri) a fost construită în 1600 pentru a uni camerele de interogare din Palatul Dogilor cu închisoarea, palatul fiind despărțit de aceasta doar printr-un canal (rio de la Canonica).
Podul a fost, de fapt, botezat de poetul englez Lord Byron într-unul dintre poemele sale din secolul al XIX-lea:
„Am stat în Veneția pe Puntea Suspinelor,
Palat, de-o parte și temniță de alta”
Descriere și istoric
Puntea Suspinelor este construită din piatră de Istria, în stil baroc, și a fost realizată la începutul secolului al XVII-lea (în anii 1600-1603) de către arhitectul Antonio Contin, fiul lui Bernardino Contin, la ordinul dogelui Marino Grimani, a cărui stemă este sculptată pe structura podului.
Acest pod faimos al Veneției, situat la mică distanță de Piața San Marco, traversează rio di Palazzo legând printr-un pasaj dublu Palatul Dogilor de Prigioni Nuove, prima clădire din lume construită special pentru a fi folosită ca închisoare. În timpul Serenissimei, podul a fost folosit ca pasaj de trecere al deținuților din închisoare către birourile anchetatorilor de stat unde urmau a fi judecați.
Cunoscut în întreaga lume, el este fotografiat de turiștii de pretutindeni din doar două locuri de unde este observabil (în afară de cei din gondole), adică de pe ponte della Canonica și de pe ponte della Paglia. Potrivit legendei, numele său se referă la suspinele condamnaților la moarte care mergeau pe ultimul drum de la Palatul Dogilor către locul în care erau executați. Astfel, ei puteau să vadă pe Puntea Suspinelor pentru ultima oară lumina soarelui, priveliștea mirifică a lagunei și insula San Giorgio Maggiore. Cu toate acestea, legenda pare total lipsită de temei, deoarece din interiorul pasajului se vede foarte puțin în exterior. Termenul sospiri indică ultimele respirații ale condamnatului către lumea liberă, pentru că o dată condamnat în Republica Dogilor nu te mai puteai întoarce înapoi.(W.ro.)
