Why this pick
A compassionate Italian working-class drama, centered on a steelworker whose sense of dignity and responsibility outlasts the factory’s collapse; it shares Milani’s humane attention to labor, displacement, and ordinary resilience.

Why this pick
Its factory-floor perspective, mounting worker unrest, and caustic humor make it a sharper, more politically charged companion to Il posto dell'anima’s portrait of labor under pressure.
03
Why this pick
Monicelli combines collective struggle, tenderness, and wry comic observation in a workers’ fight for humane conditions, echoing the solidarity and bittersweet spirit of Milani’s film.

Olmi’s quiet, observant portrait of a young man entering bureaucratic work has the same unforced empathy for everyday lives and the subtle ways employment shapes hope and identity.

01 / THE STORY
At the port of Vasto, Abruzzo city, the "Carair" car tire factory is about to close, for fraudulent bankruptcy. The factory workers are Tonino, Salvatore and Mario, who struggle with all their strength to prevent layoffs. Tonino does not know that he has a tumor since he has been exposed for many years by the tires of the wheel covers, and he thinks he is happy to live with Nina, a girl who lives in Milan, with whom she runs the weekend in the Abruzzo mountains, looking for the rare bear of Marsica. The workers' protest attracts political opinion, so Tonino, Marco and Salvatore get a meeting in Brussels and then in America, where the Carair multinational is located, getting to work. But right now Tonino's tumor gets worse...
