You can lose all your points for any one of three things. If you cry. If you ask to see your mother.
Life is Beautiful is a film about human spirit above all else.
The film starts in the 1930s when Guido relocates from the country to a large Tuscan town where he falls in love with schoolteacher Dora. She is already engaged to another guy, but Guido still fights for her. The story continues 5 years later, during wartime, Guido is married to Dora and they have a son called Giosue. Guido is of Jewish origin, and he is sent to a concentration camp with Giosue and Dora follows them, only to be sent to another camp. Guido's imagination and ingenuity show the triumph of the human spirit despite the ugliness of the days of Hitler.
