The Garden of the Finzi-Continis
A world where love was forgotten... a garden where love grew
Directed by Vittorio De Sica
Produced by Documento Film, CCC Filmkunst
A haunting portrait of a doomed Jewish family's retreat into beauty and privilege as fascism closes in, suffused with elegiac melancholy and the weight of historical tragedy.
In 1930s Italy, a wealthy Jewish family tries to maintain their privileged lifestyle, hosting friends for tennis and parties at their villa. As anti-Semitism intensifies under Fascism, they must ultimately face the horrors of the Holocaust.
