What happens

Lost Youth (Italian: Gioventù perduta) is a 1948 Italian-language drama film directed by Pietro Germi. The style of the film is close to the Italian neorealism film movement. It was remade in 1953 as the British film Black 13. Two important future film directors, Mario Monicelli & Antonio Pietrangeli, co-wrote the script. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
