SYNOPSIS:

The Mediterranean is still a popular holiday destination for many Europeans. Based on the first verse of a hit song from the 1950s, the film questions the idealised image of the Mediterranean as a place of longing. Can we still look at the Mediterranean in a naïve and impartial way? What eludes perception and whose perspectives on the Mediterranean are (not) taken up in the collective perception.
