My Brother is an Only Child (DVD)

Synopsis

The violent political unrest of 1960s Italy brings simmering tensions between two feuding brothers to the boiling point in this critically acclaimed film. Eager to distance themselves from each other, Accio (Elio Germano, "Do You Like Hitchcock?", "Respiro: Grazia's Island") and older brother Manrico (Riccardo Scamarcio, "Romanza Criminale," "Three Steps Over Heaven") join opposing political parties but are tied together by their dysfunctional working-class family...and a beautiful girl named Francesca (Diane Fleri). As the turbulent decade comes to a close, the brothers slowly discover they're alike than they thought, but that realization might come too late.
