Synopsis:
Shortly before the liberation of Italy in June 1944, began the shooting, in complete secrecy, of one of the first and most important Italian neo-realism films. The screenplay was written during the German occupation. It is about life in Rome when the Germans proclaimed Rome as an “open city”. Some of the characters in this story are: a woman in love with a member of the resistance, a priest who fights the Nazis and a German officer whose lover is Italian.
