In director Vittorio De Sica's Oscar®-winning masterpiece (1972, Best Foreign Language Film), an aristocratic Jewish family retreats behind the walls of its lush, Italian country estate to take refuge from the approaching fascist storm of the 1930s. Meanwhile, daughter Micol (Dominique Sanda) rebuffs the advances of Giorgio (Lino Capolicchio), a friend who's joined them at the estate. Helmut Berger also stars in this moving drama, based on Giorgio Bassani's semi-autobiographical novel.
