Drama
Beautifully shot and acted, this dramatic and gripping love story is set in late 1930’s Italy, against the backdrop of the rise of fascism and the increasing oppression of the country’s Jewish community. Luciano, a wounded World War I veteran and a sympathizer with fascism, runs an upscale restaurant overlooking the ancient town square in the picturesque provincial town of Ascoli Piceno. He believes he can live his life according to his own set of rules. In this bubble, he observes the world through the window of his pleasant restaurant. Luciano’s world changes, however, when Anna, a young woman with a dangerous secret, arrives in town and is hired to work in his restaurant. Slowly, affection creeps in between the two and among the many dangers Luciano faces, including the onset of WWII, there is the greatest danger of all: love.
