Spanning the first half of the 20th century in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna, 1900 (Novecento) follows two men born on the same day but into opposite social worlds—Alfredo, heir to a wealthy landowning family, and Olmo, the illegitimate son of a peasant. Their lifelong friendship unfolds amidst class struggle, the rise of fascism, world wars, and political upheaval, revealing how personal bonds intersect with history and ideology.
