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.

Зима 1526 года от Рождества Христова. Германский император Карл V вторгается во владения Папы Римского, поклявшись повесить его на веревке, свитой из золота. Ему оказывает яростное сопротивление бесстрашный воин Джованни де Медичи со своим знаменитым отрядом «Черные повязки». Под покровом ночи, в стужу и ненастье он внезапно и безжалостно уничтожает хорошо защищенного врага, имеющего в своем арсенале новое, мощное оружие — пушки. Сражаясь в эпоху знаменитых оружейников и военачальников, все больше полагющихся на силу огня и пороха, а не на прочность стального клинка, капитан Медичи упорно преследует войска захватчика, не подозревая о том, что предательство расчетливых итальянских дворян, сыграет роковую роль не только в печальном будущем его родины, но и в его трагической судьбе.

История сотворения мира, поведанная весьма пожилым бедуином, скитающимся вместе с племенем по живописным местностям, пересекая целебные оазисы, завораживающие пустыни, колоритные развалины и бесконечные караванные пути. Словоохотливый старец, подобно сказочной Шахерезаде, еженощно рассказывает благодарным слушателям космогонические истории божественного промысла, а так же поучительные предания о деяниях патриархов. Архаичная жизнь кочующего народа отсылает зрителей к ветхозаветных временах, придавая особую достоверность древнейшим сказаниям.

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.

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.
