What happens

Allonsanfàn (Italian pronunciation: [alˌlɔnzaɱˈfan]) is a 1974 Italian historical drama film written and directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani. The title of the film, which is also the name of a character, comes from the first words (French: Allons enfants, lit. 'Arise, children') of the French Revolutionary anthem La Marseillaise. Set against the backdrop of the Italian Unification in early 19th-century Italy, it stars Marcello Mastroianni as an aging revolutionary who becomes disillusioned after the Restoration and tries to betray his companions, who are organizing an insurrection in Southern Italy.
