## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A Venetian countess melts into a Götterdämmerung of rouge and ruin over a dashing imperial officer. Her patriotism curdles into lipstick-stained passion until the redcoats march in. The film’s operatic palette can’t decide if it’s mourning or masquerading.

**Mood tags**: foreign-gem, bittersweet, tender
