One night, Guido tricks Dora into his car by pretending to be her boyfriend. Reminder: 1939 was not a good time to be Jewish in Europe (more on this when World War II breaks out). So Guido creates situations where the two just happen to bump into each other.ĭuring all these shenanigans, Guido and his uncle also suffer conspicuous acts of persecution because they're Jewish. In the city, Guido works as a waiter for his Uncle Eliseo and learns that Dora's a teacher. The whole first rom-com half has a madcap, slapstick quality, complete with falls, eggings, silly costumes, crazy car scenes, shocked schoolmarms, and a rather manic hero. It's boy meets girl, girl meets gravity, as we kick off this love story. While Ferruccio fixes the car, Guido visits a nearby farm and happens to (literally) catch a beautiful woman named Dora as she falls from the barn. Guido and his buddy Ferruccio are heading to the Italian city of…some city, when their car's brakes give way. Quick cut to Italy in 1939 and a total change of mood and scenery. It'll be a while before we hear from him again.) (Oh, and don't get too attached the narrator. Before we can even start wondering about it, a narrator tells us that this story is a simple fable.but not an easy one to tell.
We don't now what's happening, but it doesn't look very good for either of them. A man carries a child through a shroud of fog.
