Comment
A widow (Sophia Loren) who runs a grocery shop in Rome during world war 2, moves with her daughter (Eleonora Brown) back to her home village to try and escape the war, but the horrors of war catch up with them despite all the efforts of the mother to protect her daughter. This is a moving portrayal of life in italy during WW2 with an excellent performance from Sophia Loren for which she rightly won an Oscar for.
