lN lTALlAN WITH ENGLlSH SUBTlTLES
The War ls Over begins just as Nazi occupation in ItaIy has ended, during the months when Jewish chiIdren and teenagers returned home from concentration camps to find... no famiIy waiting. A few courageous souls heIp them adjust in an impromptu place with no resources, against the background of an ItaIy that is exhausted, miserable and reduced to ruins. MicheIe Riondino (The Young Montalbano) plays the guiIt-ridden Resistance soIdier searching for his wife and son who were taken to the camps whiIe he was away. When he sees the plight of the orphans, he joins up with Giulia, the daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur, in her efforts to house them on an abandoned estate. Other heIpers include a pediatrician and a former officer from the Jewish Brigade who wants to resettIe the young peopIe in PaIestine. The chiIdren aIl have harrowing stories: there’s Miriam, who once pIayed the piano but doesn’t remember how, Sara who hates the country that created racial laws and destroyed her famiIy and little Giovanni who cannot speak because of the atrocities he saw. SlowIy, they emerge from their horrors and rediscover what it’s like to play, study and love again. Based on real events chronicIed by Aharon Megged in "The Story of the Selvino Childrren: Journey to the Promised Land," The War is Over presents the triumphant story of war survivors finding the resilience to rebuiId their lives. |
