What happens

Piccoli naufraghi (The Little Adventurers) is a 1939 Italian adventure film directed by Flavio Calzavara. It featured thirteen child actors making their screen debuts and is regarded as one of the very few films for children made in Italian cinema during the 1930s. The film reflects the climate of propaganda surrounding the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
