Two brothers with strong yet opposing political opinions struggle with life and their feelings for one another during the turbulant 60s and early 70s.
Una historia en la que el amor fraternal supera cualquier diferencia que exista entre hermanos.
Elio Germano is one of the best young italian actors of the moment, he's brillant! Scamarcio is more like a sex symbol to the italian teenagers, but in this movie he's good too.
A defaut d'être reellement revolutionnaire le Cinema italien n'est pas encore mort...
Un film modeste, fraternel, brut mais caricatural !

Very carino and smart. It starts as a comedy, but it turns into tragedy very soon. What a pity having Scamarcio as protagonist! Elio Germano is unlikeable but talented.
Funny and touching, very well written and acted, with arguably the two best Italian actors of their (very young) generation. The relation between politics and family values is perfectly handled, and very true to the reality of our country.
