Amid the ravages of WWII, the Finzi-Continis, a cultured Jewish family, languish in aristocratic splendor on their lavish estate in Ferrara. As the political atmosphere becomes increasingly hostile to the Jews, the handsome and carefree Finzi-Contini children, Micol and Alberto, turn their home into a refuge for their young friends.
Vittorio De Sica won the 1971 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film for this late masterpiece, nostalgic for a way of life now lost forever.
