Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Original language audio with English subtitles***Rossellini's celebrated trilogy, made during and immediately after the Second World War, is available for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK in this limited- edition box set. Rome, Open City, Paisà and Germany Year Zero provide heart-rending depictions of a Europe savaged by war, the struggles faced by ordinary people and the hope that endures, establishing Roberto Rossellini as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of all time. Rome, Open City (1945), Paisà (1946), Germany Year Zero (1948)

Rome, Open City (1945)
During the Nazi occupation of Rome in 1944, resistance leader Giorgio Manfredi is chased by Nazis and he seeks refuge and escape.
Paisan (1946)
Six vignettes follow the Allied invasion from July 1943 to winter 1944, from Sicily north to Venice. Communication is fragile. A woman leads an Allied patrol through a mine field; she dies protecting a G.I., but the Yanks think she killed him. A street urchin steals shoes from a G.I. who tracks him to a shanty town. A G.I. meets a woman the day Rome is liberated; in six months they meet again: he's cynical, she's a prostitute. A US nurse braves the trip across the Arno into German fire in search of a partisan she loves. Three chaplains, including a Jew, call on a monastery north in the Apennines. Allied soldiers and partisans try to escape capture in the marshes of the Po.
Germany Year Zero (1948)
A young German boy faces the problems of the tough life in the immediate post WWII Berlin.
