A glaring lack

In his memoirs, Casanova mentions in passing that Lucia is one of the few women he ever wronged. But how? What really happened? Why did Lucia renounce her happiness? A splendid lack is her story, the account of an extraordinary life.
Lucia and Casanova meet at a party near Venice, fall in love and promise each other eternal fidelity. But shortly afterwards Lucia disappears from Casanova's life without a word. Many years later they meet again by chance in an Amsterdam theatre, but without him knowing about it at the time. For Lucia, the shocking confrontation is the reason for a reconstruction of the events. Her youth in the Veneto, her short-lived but intense love for Giacomo, the devastating illness that struck her, her flight to Amsterdam and the life on the fringes in which she ends up there. It slowly becomes clear that her disappearance from Pasiano was not a betrayal but an act of love.
