Description
A gripping story about the courage of ordinary people in the darkest days of war, inspired by true events ***** In a remote Italian village, Jewish and Catholic families live side by side, including the family of Jacopo Levi, an intellectual dreamer and owner of the local bookstore, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, and the family of winemaker Angelo Ghione. Their children, Bella and Rico, grow up together. Childhood friendship gradually turns into love, but they are confronted with the racial laws of 1938 and then the outbreak of war. As the clouds of war gather, everyone will have to make a heartbreaking decision on how to save the lives of those they love... Orphaned Jewish children from Nazi-occupied territories arrive in the village seeking refuge, and Bella knows she must do everything in her power to protect them... When German soldiers arrive in the village, everyone finds themselves in immense danger. Her father must close the bookstore and hide. Bella hesitates to leave her home among the vineyards and the children she vowed to protect. She will fight for her home and the people she loves, even if it means paying the highest price...
