Life is Beautiful (La Vita Ã¨ bella) is an Italian film, which has English subtitles, but before you stop reading dismissing this as something you wouldn't watch, I urge you to read on. Too try and make the harsh surroundings more bearable, Guido convinces his son that they are part of a huge game, where you win points for behaving and doing as you are told, with the winner getting a tank.

Several years on, and the family are sent to a German-run Concentration Camp where Dora is separated from Guido and their son.

Finally winning her affections, they get married and have a son called GiosuÃ© (Giorgio Cantarini). This doesn't stop him from wooing her with his romantic gestures and humour. Whilst working towards his dream, he meets Dora (Nicoletta Braschi), a local school teacher who is engaged to a local Fascist official. Too finance his dream he gains temporary work as a waiter at a local hotel. It's the late 1930s and Guido (Roberto Benigni), an easy going Jew, arrives in the Tuscan town of Arezzo, where he dreams of opening a book store.
