Perseverance in love

Professor Attilio (played by Roberto Benigni) has a passion for poetry. Divorced, he took two young daughters with him, and every day devoted himself to letting his students discover the beauty of poetry. Recently, a dream often haunts him, in which he married a woman in the church.
It was not until he attended the press conference of the Arab poet Fuad (played by Jean Reno) that he finally saw the woman of his dream in reality. He firmly believes that she (Nicoletta Braschi) in front of him is the other half of his destiny. As a result, the poet fell in love with Victoria, a literary researcher next to Fuad, as infatuated with poetry.
However, Victoria did not have a good opinion of Attilio. She returned to Iraq with Fuad, but was unfortunately seriously injured in the war. Upon hearing the news, Attilio desperately rushed to the war-torn country, looking for the beloved Victoria, healing her wounds and reviving her. The tortuous journey is like adventure, but with love in my heart, everything becomes fearless.

The Tiger and the Snow quotes

  • Attilio de Giovanni: I told myself: "There must be people whose job it is to use the right words, put things in a way... who when their heart beats, can get other people's hearts to beat."

    Attilio de Giovanni: That day I decided to become a poet.

  • Fuad: He was a real poet. He was young, fell in love with a woman and married her. A few years later, while he was fighting in some war, he heard his wife had contracted smallpox and had been disfigured. So Al-Giumeili said, "My eyes hurt." And then: "I've gone blind." When his wife died, 12 years later, he opened his eyes again.

    Attilio de Giovanni: So as not to upset his wife, he pretended to be blind for 12 years?

    Fuad: Every person is a chasm. It makes you dizzy to look down.
