1900
Bernardo Bertolucci
Роберт Де Ниро, Gérard Depardieu
Прекрасным летним утром 1900 года в итальянской провинции Эмилия появляются на свет два мальчика. Олмо — еще один рот в многодетной семье бедного крестьянина. Альфредо — отпрыск богатых помещиков. Несмотря на столь различное социальное положение, мальчики не только подружатся, но пронесут дружбу через всю свою жизнь. Они — дети страшных лет Европы, чье отрочество придется на годы Первой мировой войны, а зрелость вступит в свои права под грохот гитлеровских орудий. Да и в промежутке событий будет предостаточно. Фашистская Италия — страна неспокойная. Меняется вековой уклад общества, народ все больше узнает от социалистов о своих правах, Муссолини использует смуту для захвата власти. Ветер перемен врывается и в провинцию Эмилия. Обостряются отношения крестьян и землевладельцев, но Олмо и Альфредо остаются друзьями. Сплетение судеб — близких и бесконечно далеких, сплетение жизни личности и жизни страны.
