'Fathers and Sons' ( and also known as 'A Tailor's Maid') is a 1957 Italian comedy film directed by Mario Monicelli. At the 7th Berlin International Film Festival Monicelli won the Silver Bear for Best Director award.

Plot



In Italy, in the 1950s, the lives of five families intersect. Vincenzo Corallo is a widowed tailor who has no control over his teenager, Marcella, who skips school to go with her boyfriend, Sandro Bacci, older than her, in assize trials. Her son, Carlo, is the master of the family who can't stand his sister's bad manners and wants to put her back on the right track.

At the Bacci, the father, Vittorio, has problems with his eldest son.

In the same building, Guido and Giula Blasi are expecting their first child. Anxious, Guido contacts a nurse, Ines Santarelli, who offers him injections for his pregnant wife.

Ines Santarelli, married to a zookeeper, is the overworked mother of five children. She entrusts one of her sick sons to her sister Rita, happy to welcome him, because she cannot have children with her husband.
