Plot: Angelo Barberini is the oddball son of Italian immigrants Gino and Maria, who inadvertently ended up in Canada rather than the States. Angelo shocks his parents by moving out on his own without getting married, and shocks them further still when he reveals that he's gay. But his boyfriend, policeman Nino Paventi isn't as ready to come out of the closet -- especially not to his busybody mother, Lina.

Quotes:

Nino Paventi: You're the classic self hating Italian.::Angelo Barberini: No I'm not!::Nino Paventi: Italians have contributed greatly. We gave the world Michaelangelo, Fellini, the pizza.::Angelo Barberini: The Mafia, Mussolini, garlic breath.::Angelo Barberini: Self hating Italian.

Angelo Barberini: Before I go, there is one last thing I want to do. [Pulls an handful of Pina's hair]God help us, it's real!

Angelo: Being gay and Italian is a fate worse than... actually there is no fate worse than being gay and Italian.

Angelo: Are you okay?::Anna: I will be once the Valium kicks in.

Anna: So, how's your writing going?::Angelo: Never better - I gave up.

Pina: Me, I can convert anybody. Give me an hour in the Gay Village and there's not gonna be a Gay Village no more! Hai capito?

Alicia: I'm Alicia, and um... I wanna join Gay Helpline because... if I could prevent just *one* gay teen from putting a bullet through his head and make him stand up and shout "I'm gay... *gay*! And if you don't like it, you can all go [shouting] fuck yourselves, you twisted motherfuckers!" [low voice] then I'll be happy.

Nino Paventi: How'd you get in here? The door was locked, the alarm system was on...::Lina Paventi: Nino, I'm Sicilian.

Angelo Barberini: Dear Nino, this is the only way I can think of that I might be able to reach you. So I ask you: Please read this through before closing your mind, before shutting me out forever. Keeping my love for you a secret from the world seemed like a betrayal of that love. Now I know that I don't need anyone else to know about us. We are in love and even if a closet must protect our love it will never contain. I would do anything to make things right again. There is no one if there isn't you, Nino. When you left, everything stopped making sense. I love you, Nino, and I can't bear to be without you. Your Angelo.

Peter: Angelo, if you can't have compassion for yourself, how you gonna have it for others?

Plot: Attraverso sei episodi distinti ed indipendenti uno dall'altro, il film rievoca l'avanzata delle truppe alleate in Italia. Il primo parla di un episodio dello sbarco in Sicilia : una ragazza siciliana fraternizza con un soldato americana. Entrambi sono uccisi dai tedeschi, ma gli americani la crederanno una traditrice. Poi ci troviamo a Napoli, protagonisti un soldato nero ed uno scugnizzo napoletano, che gli ruba le scarpe. Il terzo episodio si svolge a Roma, dove una ragazza, costretta dalla fame a prostituirsi, ritrova il soldato americano che la aveva messa incinta, ma lui non vorr' incontrarla. A Firenze, una infermiera inglese vaga per la citt' martoriata alla ricerca di un partigiano che ama. Il quinto si svolge in un piccolo convento, dove tre monaci di differenti professioni sono ospitati dai monaci locali. L'ultimo esalta la coraggiosa opera dei partigiani italiani, spesso vittime dei nazisti, nelle paludi della Valle Padana.
