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.

Доменико - молодой человек из предместья - надеется получить должность в большой компании. Его конкурентами оказываются два десятка человек самого разного возраста, но он успешно сдаёт экзамен - и его принимают. И теперь ему предстоит каждый день ездить на электричке и проводить целый день в огромном бюрократическом учреждении - среди людей, которые проработали там всю жизнь, всю жизнь просидели в одной комнате на одном стуле. На фоне откровенной бедности своей семьи он постоянно слышит, как ему повезло - он тоже получил работу на всю жизнь. Скучнее и тоскливее такого существования вроде бы трудно себе что-либо вообразить.

Two middle-aged men work as caretakers on an isolated dam construction site high in the snow-capped Italian Alps. When one of them leaves for the valley to spend Christmas vacation with his family he is temporarily replaced with an adolescent boy. The other man is both annoyed and intrigued by the boy and his habits: he listens to loud music, sleeps too long in the mornings and doesn't drink any alcohol. They barely speak to one another in the first couple of days. But when an avalanche cuts their small hut from electricity they slowly start growing more fond of each other.
