"Cesira is a beautiful widow and a successful grocery store owner in
Rome. WWII is raging, and she fears for her beloved daughter,
13-year-old Rosetta, amid the daily bombings. They travel to the village
where Cesira was born, where Cesira believes they will be safer. There,
they are happy even as food dwindles. A young intellectual, Michele,
falls in love with Cesira, who is too consumed with the well-being of
her daughter and their survival to return his timid advances. As the
allies advance, Cesira decides to return to Rome - and encounter the
horrors of war at last. " This is a pretty good flick and worth a once over. Check out the trailer below.
