Drama, History
In late 1930s Ferrara, Italy, the Finzi-Continis are a leading family: wealthy, aristocratic, and urbane; they are also Jewish. Their adult children, Micol and Alberto, gather a diverse circle of friends for tennis and parties at their villa with its lovely grounds, and try to keep the rest of the world at bay. But tensions between them all grow as anti-Semitism rises in Fascist Italy, and even the Finzi-Continis will have to confront the Holocaust.

Like an intimate family dinner with strangers, there's a lot going on here but none of it concerns you. Set in Italy during the period when Mussolini rose to power in WWII, this is the 'love story' between a Jewish woman from the upper class and her friend from the Jewish middle class. Because there are a lot of political references and this is about a garden it's probably an extended metaphor but it's not interesting enough to make me want to delve any deeper into it than that.
