| Synopsis |
| Northern
Italy, near Milan, 1943. In order
to escape the bombings of the Second
World War, Contessa Luisa, her son
Andrea, grandson Carl and Ferruccio,
a family friend, search for shelter
in a villa close to Milan. The three
boys try to pass the time in the
best way they can. Only Carlo realizes
the tragedy of the situation. The
group is soon joined by Lucia, a
woman who also seeks refuge and a
group of soldiers, escaping from
the Germans. Andrea hosts them in
the villa during his mothers absence,
and soon falls in love with Lucia.
But the brave gesture of Andrea provokes
Ferruccio: he informs the Germans
about what is happening in the villa.
The soldiers decide to escape to
the mountains using a truck, also
taking Lucia, Carlo and Andrea. The
mother returns just before their
departure, and Andrea, influenced
by his mother, refuses to follow
his friends. He plans to escape to
Switzerland instead.
While he sits in the car to begin
his journey, he hears the gunshots
that are fired on the truck, killing
Lucia. |
