Synopsis

Springtime in Venice, romantic, enchanted city of dreams where anything can happen. Sara is too young, too full of love and life to want the magic to pass her by. She would give anything to be out there by the glittering water, floating in a gondola through golden Venetian afternoons and moonlit evenings with the man of her dreams. But the man she loves has never noticed Sara. Nicholas Pelham is too bust flirting with her employer, the exquisitely beautiful Olive. Until the night that all that changes and Sara's dreams come true. But dreams of love can crumble and turn to dust... But you ought to have told me... sent for me!
