| Synopsis | With its mix of wartime hardship, comedic interludes and Italian magic realism, the film was named the Best Film by the prestigious National Society of Film Critics (1982).
Drawing inspiration from their own experiences in Nazi-occupied Italy, the Taviani brothers (Paolo and Vittorio), created this touching tale of wartime survival, told as a bedtime story by a loving mother drawing on memories of her childhood fleeing her Tuscan village during World War II. American liberation is promised within days, but the Nazis have rigged village houses with mines, so the residents of San Martino flee to the countryside, where encounters with fascists are common and deadly. |
