Voted Best Picture at the Italian Film Festival USA, this film weaves a hauntingly beautiful tale of love and sacrifice in wartime in the run-up to and during WWII. Set in the 1930s, the story revolves around a middle-aged Italian man, Luciano, who manages an elegant small-town restaurant. Although admired by the fascists who patronize his establishment for his World War I service, Luciano tolerates them for his security without being drawn into their mentality. Unlike some Italians, he is not antisemitic and is not shocked when he eventually learns that Anna, a smart, hard-working woman he hired, had concealed the fact that she is Jewish. Their romantic relationship begins to grow. But when Anna’s estranged husband arrives, on the run from authorities, the film shifts to a taut thriller as war approaches and Italy’s ties to Nazi Germany become closer. As tension rises, relationships among everyone at the restaurant grow far more complex.
