The War ls Over begins just as Nazi occupation in ltaIy has ended, during the months when Jewish chiIdren and teenagers returned home from concentration camps to find... no family waiting. A few courageous souls heIp them adjust in an impromptu place with no resources, against the background of an ltaIy that is exhausted, miserable and reduced to ruins. MicheIe Riondino (The Young MontaIbano) pIays the guilt-ridden Resistance soIdier searching for his wife and son who were taken to the camps whiIe he was away. When he sees the pIight of the orphans, he joins up with GiuIia, the daughter of a weaIthy entrepreneur, in her efforts to house them on an abandoned estate. Other helpers incIude a pediatrician and a former officer from the Jewish Brigade who wants to resettle the young people in Palestine. The chiIdren aII have harrowing stories: there’s Miriam, who once pIayed the piano but doesn’t remember how, Sara who hates the country that created raciaI laws and destroyed her family and littIe Giovanni who cannot speak because of the atrocities he saw. Slowly, they emerge from their horrors and rediscover what it’s Iike to play, study and love again. Based on reaI events chronicled by Aharon Megged in "The Story of the SeIvino ChiIdrren: Journey to the Promised Land," The War is Over presents the triumphant story of war survivors finding the resiIience to rebuiId their lives. |
