Camilla (1976)

Milan, 1945. The war is over. But life is far from easy for those who have to start from scratch, amid rubble and misery. This is the case for Camilla, a woman no longer young, abandoned by her husband at the outbreak of the conflict, with three children between the ages of 17 and 20 to raise. Based on Fausta Cialiente's novel, Un inverno freddissimo (A Very Cold Winter), published in 1966, this is the moving story of an Italian "mother courage."
