Summary: | A family epic spanning four decades of social unrest from the 1960s to the 1990s and incorporating such events in Italy's history as the hippy movement, the flood of Florence, the Red Brigades, Mafia scandals, kidnapping and political assassinations. The film focuses on Italian brothers Nicola and Matteo Carati, whose lives take very different paths, divided by politics but bonded by blood.
