In the aftermath of the Second World War, thirteen-year-old Edmund traverses the physical and spiritual ruins of Berlin, confronting the abyss of remorse and the innocence of sacrifice. As the final part of an unofficial war trilogy, following Rome, Open City (1945) and Paisà (1946), Roberto Rossellini’s film – which won the Grand Prix and the prize for best screenplay at Locarno in 1948 – is a grief-stricken, unswerving denunciation of the historical and moral contradiction expressed in the title: the open wound of a country still afflicted by its ideological heritage, and at the same time craving a fresh start for its men and women.
