The tragicomedy won 5 Italian Oscars. Family saga, against the backdrop of Italian politics. Young Accio chooses the path of rebellion - and loves the girlfriend of his brother.


His parents always choose his brothers and sisters over him. So young Accio chooses the path of rebellion. While older brother Manrico's labor activism makes him popular with the ladies, Accio, to his family's horror, joins the blackshirts and propagates counterrevolution. Until he falls in love with Manrico's girlfriend and begins to question his friends' politics...

A captivating look back at turbulent times and the political blindness of youth.


“Offers a warm humor that illuminates the defiant vista of hope even when the proceedings turn tragic.” (Variety)
