About This Item
Youth arrives in the city with hope in it's pockets-and discovers fluorescent lights, time clocks, and quiet disappointments. Domenico's move to Milan trades dreams for paperwork, until romance briefly suggests another life might be possible. Directed by Ermanno Olmi and released in 1961, this gentle coming-of-age story observes ordinary workdays with extraordinary empathy, finding meaning not in triumph but in endurance.
