The Best of Youth

“The Possibilities Were Endless...”

Nicola Carati (Luigi Lo Cascio) and his brother Matteo (Alessio Boni) are raised in a middle-class Roman family, and in the summer of 1966 a single encounter sends them down separate roads. Marco Tullio Giordana follows the Caratis from that summer to 2003, through the major events of postwar Italy. Their story shows that a country's history gets lived at the family table, one ordinary person at a time.
