Award-winning director Martin Scorses (Gangs of New York) presents an epic, true story that was cheered by moviegoers and critics alike. Acclaimed actor John Turturro (Mr. Deeds, O Brother, Where Art Thou?) delivers a powerful performance as a man whose life is changed forever by World War II. His incredible adventure begins after the war ends and he embarks on a thousand-mile journey back home to Italy. Along the way he faces great odds...but rediscovers the simple joys of life that the war threatened to destroy forever-friendship, love, laughter, and, most important of all, a sense of hope. This motion picture masterpiece promises to stir your soul and touch your heart-don't miss it! (official distributor synopsis)
