Synopsis

Venti is the story of a journey made by two young women, Beatriz and Eva, told through a series of short episodes. Beatriz (Anita Caprioli) is a hard-porn actress, who has just finished a movie and is going to be interviewed in a TV talk show of which Eva (Cecilia Dazzi) is a junior editor. Beatriz is a smoker, cool-looking and self confident, who speaks a funny Italian-Spanish; Eva is vegetarian, nervous, hyperactive and verbose. The two women meet when Eva is sent to pick up Bea and drive her to town, where she is to be the special guest in Leo Mineo's talk show. Their journey will not end as planned: as the hottest day of the year goes on they have unexpected encounters with weird people. They will never reach the TV studio... The story runs through 19 different episodes, linked by a thin breath of smoke: the camera starts when a cigarette comes out the pack until it is put off.
