La tigre e la neve | The Tiger And The Snow | Der Tiger und der Schnee by Roberto Benigni
ITA 2005, Berlinale Special
Vittoria is also a writer. She is currently working on a biography of the famous Iraqi poet, Fuad, who has been living in Paris for many years but who plans to return to Baghdad to be with his fellow Iraqis when war breaks out. Attilo once met the poet with Vittoria when he came to Rome.
One day Attilo receives a phone call from Baghdad. Its Fuad. He has dreadful news. Vittoria has been badly wounded in one of the first British and American bombing raids and is dying. Attilo doesnt hesitate even for a moment. He moves heaven and earth to be allowed to travel to Iraq with a delegation of Red Cross employees. With great good luck and dogged persistence he manages to make it to Vittorias bedside. She is lying unattended, in a hospital with only the most piffling facilities and equipment at its disposal. If she is to survive, she needs medication that cannot be obtained in Baghdad.
Refusing to give up hope, Attilo scours the ruins and the rubble of the war zone in desperate search of a pharmacy. Unable to find a single intact drug store in the entire city, he sets off instead to find an chemist able to prepare the medication. But then Attilo falls into the hands of the Americans
