Show other versions (3)

Set in Italy in 1938 when Mussolini's anti-Semitic edicts began to isolate the Jews from their communities. Among them were the Finzi-Continis, an aristocratic Jewish family. The garden wall symbolizes the distance between the Finzi-Continis and the Nazi reality about to engulf them.
