Il primo natale
.
PLOT: November 1942. The Italian army occupies several departments in the Southeast of France. In the Alps, thousands of Jews take refuge in these Italian areas. An oasis of peace is created, safe from the Nazis and Vichy ... until 8 September 1943. Faced with the arrival of the Germans, the Italian soldiers flee with the Jews through the mountains, an exodus full of pitfalls. Thanks to letters, memoirs and extraordinary private photographs, this documentary traces these events through the love story between Rima Dridso Levin, a Russian Jew, and Federico Strobino, an Italian officer.
