La Meglio Gioventù

Part 2

Nicola and Matteo, two brothers who initially share the same dreams and friendships, decide to change their lives when they meet Giorgia, a girl with psychological problems. Nicola decides to become a psychiatrist, Matteo gives up his studies and reports to the police. The passions, ideals, turbulent love lives, intrigues and misadventures of the two brothers and their relatives are impressively interwoven with the important events of recent Italian history: the great flood of Florence, the fight against the Sicilian mafia, the major football matches of the Italian national team and the world championship, the terrorism of the Red Brigades, the Fiat crisis, the student demonstrations…

La Meglio Gioventù is a very clever, endearing, serious, cheerful and tragic family story with a look back at 40 years of Italian history, an epic that touches and moves deeply.
