3.0

---

Pino Lella is a normal teenage boy that just happens to live in Milan, Italy under Mussolini’s rule during World War II. The horrors of war are closing in all around him, but all he cares about is food, music and girls. That is, until a movie theater that he and his younger brother are attending is bombed and they barely escape death. Afterwards, his life trajectory is forever changed and shaped by his willingness to do his part to defeat the Nazis. Based on a true story, Beneath a Scarlet Sky describes the fascinating experiences of a young man who could be considered the Forrest Gump of Italy.
