Set in Italy and spanning four decades, from the chaotic 1960s to the
present, director Marco Tullio Giordana's passionate epic THE BEST OF
YOUTH follows two Italian brothers through some of the most tumultuous
events of recent history. In a final period of hopeful innocence,

introverted and idealist brother Matteo (Alessio Boni) joins the
Italian police with the hope of righting society's wrongs.
