Roberto Benigni´s Holocaust melodrama is a tribute to the endurance of family love. Benigni and his real-life wife, Nicoletta Braschi, star as Guido and Dora Orefice, the loving parents of a precious little boy, Giosué (Giorgio Cantarini). When the family is imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp, Guido fabricates an elaborate game to convince Giosué that the whole ordeal is a survival test to be won, with prizes forthcoming.

Mrs. Bush will be introduced by her longtime friend Peggy Neuhaus, a member of the MFAH film committee.
