At the opening of this picture, a couple are seen in dim outlines, spooning on a park bench. In comes a policeman, armed with a dark-lantern, which he suddenly flashes on the couple. They cease their love-making, in great confusion, and the policeman walks on, but as soon as he is out of sight, the couple commence billing and cooing again. This picture is particularly interesting because of the photographic effect of the sudden flashing of a dark lantern on the couple. It is very cleverly worked out, and the picture has made a big hit wherever it has been shown. Written by AMB Picture Catalogue (1902)

Set in Italy, the film follows the lives and interactions of two boys/men, one born a
bastard of peasant stock (Depardieu), the other born to a land owner (de Niro).
The drama spans from 1900 to about 1945, and focuses mainly on the rise of
Fascism and the peasants' eventual reaction by supporting Communism, and
how these events shape the destinies of the two main characters.
