- DirectorAlberto NegrinStarsLuca ZingarettiJérôme AngerAmanda SandrelliThe real story of Giorgio Perlasca (Luca Zingaretti). During the 1920s he was an Italian Fascist supporter, fighting in Africa and in the Spanish Civil War where he received safe conduct credential for Spanish embassies. After some years, disillusioned by fascism, he became a supplier for the Italian army. During the war he was in business in Budapest. He lives an easy life there, well introduced into the Hungarian high society, without any problems being caused by the war. When the Germans occupied Hungary, in 1944, he escaped to the Spanish embassy in Budapest using his old safe conduct credential and becoming a Spanish citizen, changing his name to Jorge Perlasca. He starts working as a diplomat there. When Sanz Briz (Geza Tordy), the Spanish consul, is removed, Perlasca immediately substitutes him, like if he was officially appointed from Spanish authorities. All the Germans and the Hungarian authorities believe him. In his new fake assignment, he starts immediately to hide, shield, and feed thousands of Jews issuing fake Spanish safe conducts for the Jews of Sephardic origin. He is in contact with Raoul Wallenberg, another hero of that time. The two, together with other volunteers, running incredible risks had saved thousands of Hungarian Jews from a tragic death. Incredibly, Perlasca succeeded to save two boys directly from the hands of Adolf Eichmann at the train station. This hero, after the war, was completely forgotten, and his story comes out just in the 1980s because some of the Hungarian Jews wanted to meet him again.

- DirectorAmbrogio Lo GiudiceStarsStefania RoccaMarco CocciLuca ZingarettiReality sometimes looks more like a fairy tale. Adele and Marcello were marked by fate at birth: they were born at the same moment on April 16, 1927, delivered by their mothers just a few inches from each other. From that moment on, their lives were destined to intertwine. The narrator is Loris, their few-years-older friend, a witness of their early romance; as children they used to play bride-and-groom inside a small abandoned chapel, swearing eternal love and exchanging rubber rings made from a bicycle innertube. Not long afterwards, though, they are separated by the events of WWII, but their dream will continue, nourished by hope and memories. Their lives run parallel for years, overlapping at times by a destiny that lets them brush close to each other for a few seconds, for a few yards, or for a word or two.
