Life is Beautful
In 1939, Guido, an Italian Jew, falls in love with Dora, who isn't Jewish. He woos her away from the Fascist official she has been dating, and they get married. Their son Giosue grows up among growing anti-Semitism. As the war progresses, Guido and Giosue are arrested and taken to a concentration camp. Dora goes too, determined not to separate the family. In the midst of the horrors of the camp, Guido protects his son by pretending that survival in the concentration camp is an elaborate game with which Giosue must play along or be sent home.

I haven't seen this movie but mcvarki has. He narrated it to me one time, and it was enough to make me cry. Such a sad story but the title is just perfect for it because in some way, the dad who was in a concentration camp with his son, found ways to make his son view life in such conditions as still beautiful

Another good movie to watch is "Music From Another Room" starring Jude Law and Gretchen Moll. It's a beautiful lab istory.
