The Garden of The Finzi-Continis is set on the eve of World War II and tells the story
of an aristocratic Italian-Jewish family, the Finzi-Continis, who
believe they will be immune to the changes happening around
them. As they make a gracious haven for themselves in their
garden, walling out the unpleasantness of the world outside, Italy
forms its alliance with Germany and begins to enforce anti-Semitic
racial laws. But the Finzi-Continis discover too late that no
one is immune, no one is untouchable.
