Plot

This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. (October 2009)

In a farmhouse in southern Italy, an old woman, the matriarch of an Italian family, dies. Her husband, Donato, summons their three adult sons, each of whom are facing difficult personal problems, back to their farmhouse from the cities where they now live. One of their sons, Raffaele, a judge living in Rome, is considering presiding over a terrorism case for which he would risk assassination. Another son, Rocco, who lives in Naples, is religious and works as a counselor at a boys' correctional institute, so that he can fulfill his dream of helping troubled teenagers. The third son, Nicola, who lives in Turin, is a militant factory worker involved in a labour dispute, and is dealing with a failed marriage. Each of the men grieves in his own way, while also wrestling with their other emotional issues.

The sons recall the past and engage in reveries of what may come: Raffaele imagines his death, Rocco dreams of lifting the youth of Naples out of violence, drugs, and corruption, Nicola pictures embracing his estranged wife. Meanwhile, the old man and his young granddaughter, Nicola's child, explore the rhythms of the farm and grieve together.

[ru] Три брата (фильм, 1981)

Вольная экранизация рассказа Андрея Платонова «Третий сын». Перенеся действие из советской глубинки в южную итальянскую деревушку и наполнив фильм реалиями итальянских 1970-х годов (терроризм, Красные бригады, политическая борьба, безработица, сексуальная революция), известный режиссёр сохранил пронзительную платоновскую интонацию и «простую» истину: смысл человеческой жизни — это любовь.
