The first half of the movie is a whimsical, romantic comedy and often slapstick. Guido, a young Italian Jew, arrives in a big city where he sets up a bookstore. Guido is both funny and charismatic, especially when he romances Dora (Italian, but not Jewish), whom he steals – at her engagement – from her rude and loud fiancé. Several years pass, in which Guido and Dora have a son, Giosuč (written Joshua in the English subtitles). In the second half of the movie, Guido, his uncle, and Giosuč are taken to a concentration camp on Giosuč's birthday. Not wanting to leave her family, Dora asks to be allowed to join them and is permitted to do so. In an attempt at keeping up Giosuč's spirits, Guido convinces him that the camp is just a game – a game in which the first person to get a thousand points wins a tank. He convinces Giosuč that the camp guards are mean because they want the tank for themselves, that all the other children are hiding in order to win the game, and puts off every attempt of Giosuč's ending the game and returning home by convincing him that they are in the lead for the tank. Despite being surrounded by rampant death and disease, Giosuč doesn't question this fiction both because of his father's convincing performance and his own innocence. Guido maintains this story right until the end, when – in the chaos caused by the American advance drawing near – he tells his son to stay in a mailbox until everybody has left, this being the final test before the tank is his. Guido is killed while trying to warn Dora that the trucks go to the gas chambers. Giosuč manages to survive, and thinks he's won the game when an American tank arrives to liberate the camp, and is reunited with his mother by the American tank commander. |
