Carnival In Venice

Jokes, misunderstandings… everything contributes to the general confusion. The poor become rich, the old become young. Pierrot turns into Columbine. Columbine turns into Pierrot. Everything is possible… everything permissible. A French family arrives in the middle of the farce. Escaping his mother's clutches, Julien joins in with the colorful spectacle. What does he seek?
