I don't even want to be a layman to watch the fun, it's really depressing!

This film tells a story: a middle-aged man came to Venice alone and fell in love with an underage boy. Always peeping and following people. During this time, the two kept staring at each other. After that, they kept following and staring at each other for a few days. In the end, the middle-aged man didn't have the courage to step forward and say a word to the young man, so he hung up, and the play ended! - That's how laymen see it. If you are an expert, go to the original book of the same name: Thomas Mann's "Soulbroken in Venice", and listen to Mahler's Fifth Symphony, the fourth movement. Maybe you will have a different experience!
