What Is The Magic Screen About?
The premise of The Magic Screen without spoilers.
In late‑1920s Italy, brothers Angelo and Tonino travel the countryside in a truck, showing moving pictures for a fee. In Emilia‑Romagna Angelo courts a fascist‑linked marchesa, while Tonino sides with jailed anti‑fascist Giovanni and rebel farmers. After Giovanni’s death, Tonino interrupts a silent Christ film with slides exposing his killer, forcing all to choose loyalties.
