Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, this is the story of the wealthy Jewish family, Finzi-Continis, who ignored the dangers of fascism in the late 1930s that overtook Italy–until it was too late. While many Jewish families left Italy, the Finzi-Continis family remained believing that their sprawling estate would protect them from fascism. Giorgio (Lino Capolicchio) is invited to their home to do research for his school studies and falls in love with Micol Finzi-Contini (Dominique Sanda). Giorgio tries to draw Micol away from Italy, but she refuses, and now the politics of war close in on them.
