Film Description
An inspiring story about the power of love and the human spirit, Life Is Beautiful begins in 1939 with a young dreamer - oblivious to the life-altering events surrounding him - falling for a beautiful school teacher.
In 1939, young Italian Jew Guido Orefice (Roberto Benigni) travels with his friend Ferruccio to Arezzo, where his uncle has promised to help set him up with a bookshop. Guido immediately falls in love with the beautiful Dora (Nicoletta Braschi), and eventually woos her away from local fascist official Rodolfo. Together they have a son, but when war breaks out a few years later, Guido and Giosue are moved to a Nazi concentration camp. Determined to protect his son from the horrors of war, Guido tells him that the camp is all part of a game, and that Giosue's prize will be a life-size version of the toy tank he loves to play with. The film won three Academy Awards, including Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor for Roberto Benigni.
