Lavinia Grizi

A young vagabond travels along the Aurelia roadway in northern Italy where he meets a woman.

A mysterious tomb is unearthed in the catacombs under Rome, the contents of which contain evidence of an ageless evil that may once have preyed on man.

The first movie directed by Roberto Benigni in four surreal short stories: "Durante Cristo" (During Christ), "Angelo" (Angel), , "In Banca" (At the Bank) and "I Due Militi" (The Two Soldiers). An excursus in Benigni's satirical views on man, religion and society.

The youth protest against corruption in Italian politics. When they subsequently find themselves in trouble, they take the law into their own hands: they form the Red Brigade, which wreaks death and destruction.
