The Verzasca River flows through the Verzasca Valley in Ticino, the Italian-speaking section of Switzerland. The Verzasca is famous for its clear green water, which over millions of years has carved its way through the rock, leaving it smooth and polished. This documentary presents something very few get to witness, a poetic-naturalistic encounter with the underwater world of the Verzasca.
