After watching a film that seems to have spent a lifetime, post-war Italy in the 1960s was lifeless and hopeless in the mouth of Nikolai's defense teacher. However, a flood in Florence awakened the sleeping Italian people and caught up with this era of great change, and the ensuing radical revolution broke out in the industrialized northern Italy. Turin riots, worker strikes, far-left terrorist groups, Fiat layoffs, and more. Since then, Italy has won the World Cup, but the mafia has expanded in the backward south. However, the greatness of this film is that the director borrowed a long volume of history to tell the story of the ups and downs of the Italian middle-class family. Against the background of the great history, the extreme and the moderate run counter to the extreme. A drama of short life, in the mouth of the girlfriend of the younger brother Madio The true meaning is expressed, "You like books because you can give them up at any time. Life is different, it's not up to you." With the death of the mother, the younger generation grew up and got married. The film came to an end, and everything was new again. Reincarnation, the meaning of life seems to be equated with inheritance. ps, the group portraits in the film are delicately depicted and intriguing.

Andrea Utano: I watch the midnight sun sink towards the horizon, then it stops and doesn't enter the sea. I think of my father, mother, and you, how you've always said that everything is beautiful. I think you were right. Everything is truly beautiful.

Giovanna Carati: Look, but do you know that I still have a postcard you sent me from the North Cape, in '66, in Norwegian? I think it had an inscription. And under the translation it said: "Everything that exists is beautiful!", With three exclamation points... but do you still believe it?
Nicola Carati: No, I don't believe in exclamation points anymore.
