Running on the parallel lines of a Latin American film, Machuca, released in the same decade, focuses on Italian Communism and fascism of the 1960-70. This film started well and it struck the right note of showing internal conflicts of an Italian bourgeois family, gets drifted apart due to differences in political beliefs. Now I'm not sure if a family can get such shocking turbulence due to political differences,but the after effects are just plain unbelievable. What remains good to see is the first half where the character development is furnished enough and it hooks up for high expectations. However they are not fulfilled and we are remained with stupid family drama. Were it not suggested for a movie challenge, I would have seen a better film.
