Synopsis:
The story is about an old aristocratic Jewish family Finzi-Contini and their
decay in the time of Mussolini and the WW 2. The members of the family live
isolated on their estate and are not very much interested in political events.
However, they will soon affect them… A powerful film by De Sica, based on the
novel by Giorgio Bassani (who cowrote the script but later withdrew from the
project). The film won an Oscar as the best foreign film in 1972.
