Six stories during World War II. 1. The communication between American soldiers and Italian girls in the absence of language, with a figured out feeling of disgust for war. 2. A black American soldier was drunk by a young boy who stole his clothes and left when the boy saw the boy's living environment again. 3. The story of being forced to become a prostitute and an American soldier. 4. The story of a lover who is struggling to find a front line to fight. 5. The story of the people in the church and the American soldiers. 6. The story of guerrillas fighting in a poor environment. The film documents the situation of people in different environments during the war. Rossellini just uses the camera to let us follow these stories quietly, and let us see the misery brought about by the war for ourselves.

Paisan quotes

  • Joe - the American MP (episode II: Napoli): Just three days ago, a little hoodlum like you, stole my shoes, right off my feet. If I could get my hands on him and I will and when I do - I'll boot him in his pants so hard he'll see stars!

  • Joe - the American MP (episode II: Napoli): Why do you steal, huh? Why do you steal, huh? Let's have a look. I wouldn't be surprised to find a battleship in your pocket.
