Synopsis
After Athens fell under the government of the Thirty Tyrants, the lives of citizens are no longer safe. The philosopher Socrates, meanwhile, continues his so-called philosophical "preaching", gathering more and more young disciples. Among them is Plato, who notes the speeches of his master, not knowing about the conflict and what apparently seems so real as to be considered a principle. The youth of Athens like Socrates, although the conservatives, as the comedian Aristophanes, ridicule him, believing him to be one the sophists.Actors

Chronique sur la vie de Blaise Pascal, allant de la petite enfance à sa mort prématurée à l'âge de 39 ans. Du philosophe, mathématicien et scientifique, le film retrace les étapes de son existence, allant de ses très précieuses convictions par rapport aux théories galileennes, pour aborder les études dérivées des expériences de Torricelli, en passant par le culte des sciences, et aboutir à sa conversion au christianisme (1651) qui favorisera une œuvre marquée par plus de maturité.

Le film met en lumière la vie fraternelle et communautaire des compagnons de saint François d'Assise. Véritable hymne à l'amour de son prochain, il rencontre cependant un succès limité à sa sortie en 1950. Rossellini pensera par la suite que le public n'a pas compris le film dans son ensemble.

In occupied Rome (an open city after 14 August 1943), German SS troops are trying to arrest the engineer Giorgio Manfredi, a communist and a leader of the Resistance against the Nazis and Fascists, who is staying in a rooming house. The landlady warns him in time of the Germans' arrival, so that he can elude them by jumping across the rooftops. He goes to the home of another Resistance fighter, Francesco. There he encounters Pina who lives in the next apartment. Pina is Francesco’s fiancée, and is visibly pregnant. She first suspects Giorgio of being a cop and gives him a rough time, but when he makes it clear he is not, she welcomes him into Francesco’s apartment to wait for him. With Pina’s help (she is also part of the Resistance), Giorgio contacts Don Pietro Pellegrini, a Catholic priest who is also helping the Resistance, and asks him to transfer messages and money to a group of Resistance fighters outside the city: because Giorgio is now known to the Gestapo, he cannot do it himself.
