Description
A smash hit in its native Italy, director/co-writer Daniele Luchetti's intensely cinematic and incisive comedy-drama looks at the dreams and disillusionments of the 1960s and '70s. In a small Italian town, two brothers want to change the world—but in completely different ways. The elder, Manrico (Riccardo Scarmaccio), is a handsome, charismatic firebrand who becomes the prime mover in the local Communist party. Accio (Elio Germano), the younger and more rebellious brother, finds his own contrarian voice by joining the reactionary Fascists. What starts as a typical tale of sibling rivalry becomes the story of the polarizing and paralyzing politics of those turbulent times, and the rift between the brothers when Accio realizes that he loves his brother’s girlfriend, Francesca (Diane Fleri).
