Film Information

Two Americans, one an aspiring poet (Paul Petersen) and the other an established folk musician (Andrea von Kampen), cross paths in the scenic, coastal town of Taormina, Sicily. Their instant chemistry sparks collaboration, leading to an unexpected, weeklong writer’s retreat at a beautiful villa in the Sicilian countryside. As they immerse themselves in the local culture, they challenge each other to express their thorniest secrets, growing closer all the while. Directed by UNL alum Alexander Jeffery and starring Nebraska-based musician and actor Andrea von Kampen.
