Summer 1943, Piedmont, Italy. Milton loves Fulvia who plays with his love: she only likes the depth of his thought and the letters he writes to her. One year later, Milton has joined the Resistance and fights beside other partisans. He learns during a conversation that Fulvia was secretly in love with his best friend Giorgio, a partisan like him. Milton decides to go find Giorgio in the Langhe region of Italy with all its misty hills...But Giorgio has just been arrested by the Fascists.

The film is the personal story of a protagonist of our times and traces Carlo Martini's actions and thoughts, as he has remained faithful to its vocation and ideals. Through dramatic events (terrorism, Tangentopoli, labor crisis, conflict, loneliness) Carlo Martini interpreted losses and concerns of the people, who saw a free man and a non dogmatic prince of the Gospel Church. Thanks to the authenticity of his testimony he has been a reference point for believers and non-believers, a prophet of hope, a forerunner of Pope Francis.

A train travels across Italy toward Rome. On board is a professor who daydreams a conversation with a love that never was, a family of Albanian refugees who switch trains and steal a ticket, three brash Scottish soccer fans en route to a match, and a complaining widow traveling to a memorial service for her late husband who's accompanied by a community-service volunteer who's assisting her. Interactions among these Europeans turn on class and nationalism, courtesy and rudeness, and opportunities for kindness.

In autumn of 1526, the Emperor, Charles V, sends his German landsknechts led by Georg von Frundsberg to march towards Rome. The inferior papal armies, commanded by Giovanni de'Medici, try to chase them in the midst of a harsh winter. Nevertheless, the Imperial armies manage to cross the rivers along their march and get cannons thanks to the maneuvers of its Lords. In a skirmish, Giovanni de'Medici is wounded in the leg by a falconet shot. The attempts to cure him fail and he dies. The Imperial armies assault Rome. The film is beautifully but unassumingly set, and shows the hard conditions in which war is waged and its lack of glory. It ends straightforwardly with the declaration made after the death of Giovanni de'Medici by the commanders of the armies in Europe of not using again fire weapons because of their cruelty.

Uma escuridão envolvente. De repente, a voz de uma criança, assustada, perguntando, projeta-se na escuridão...Raios enfraquecidos de luz começam a esculpir formas misteriosas no meio da escuridão... Entre eles, um ancião. Ele conforta a criança, exortando-a a ver as maravilhas da terra. E é com os olhos desta criança que testemunhamos a criação do Mundo.A natureza se faz viva com o primeiro raio de luz do amanhecer, recriando os sete dias da Criação. Seguindo cada passo de seus primeiros personagens Adão e Eva e seus filhos Caim e Abel, que causaram a ira de Deus levando-o a começar tudo outra vez. O sol novamente nasce. Uma pomba carrega um galho de oliveira. Noé traz em sua arca a esperança de uma nova vida, sinal de aliança com Deus.

The Lady (or Signora) of the title is a mysterious matron who lives in a crumbling mansion. Six catering trainees are brought to the castle upon its conversion into a resort hotel. They are ordered to prepare a special meal for the old lady, whom none of them have ever seen for more than an instant. As the caterers grow in wisdom and sophistication, we learn that the lady may very well be an urbane ghost rather than a flesh-and-blood entity.

Based on the diary Pope John XXIII kept between the ages of 14 and 18, his lifelong concern for tolerance, the underprivileged, and world peace is told. Rod Steiger, in the central role, acts as "intermediary" between the Pope and the audience, interpreting John's words, thoughts and actions. Steiger visits the actual places in which John lived, recreating the conditions, environment, and forces that affected his development. Through this unusual technique, we are brought close to an extraordinary man - one who's able to win the love of many people of all faiths.

As câmeras de Ichikawa seguem os Jogos Olímpicos de Verão 1964, da abertura à cerimônia de encerramento. Às vezes, ele concentra-se em espectadores, as vezes em atletas que passam em um borrão, às vezes ele isola um concorrente, outras vezes é um close up de músculos como um martelo é lançado ou uma barra levantada, ou assistir a uma corrida do início ao fim. Vemos vindo de trás ganha em 800 metros das mulheres e 10.000 metros dos homens. Nós seguimos um atleta do Chade desde a chegada às refeições, treinamento, competição e perda. Todo, o filme celebra a nobreza dos atletas empurrando-se para o limite, independentemente da vitória.
