0–4s Soft morning light spills over Venice. A young girl steps out of a narrow alley wearing a pastel cotton floral dress, light and breathable, flowing gently with every step. The canals shimmer as gondolas pass quietly in the background. 4–8s She travels through the Italian countryside by train. In her same pastel floral cotton dress, now layered with a light cardigan, she gazes out the window. Rolling hills and vineyards blur into a warm, dreamy landscape. 8–12s Florence welcomes her with golden light. She walks through historic streets in her soft cotton floral dress, pastel tones blending with the city’s earthy architecture. Her outfit moves naturally with the breeze as she pauses in front of the cathedral. 12–16s At sunset in Rome, she stands near ancient ruins, still in her elegant pastel floral dress. The fabric catches the warm orange glow of the sky. She smiles softly as the city lights begin to glow, creating a peaceful cinematic ending.
