John Duncombe, the British consul in Florence, returns home from his wife’s funeral to his two children, who are unaware of their mother’s passing. He makes the decision to tell his eldest son, Andrea, but hides the truth from his sickly younger son, Milo. Director Luigi Comencini captures the innocence and carefree moments of youth alongside the agonising feelings of grief, creating one of the finest films about childhood. (Radiance Films)
