English Summary:

Amarcord (Italian: [amarˈkɔrd]) is a 1973 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Federico Fellini, a semi-autobiographical tale about Titta, an adolescent boy growing up among an eccentric cast of characters in the village of Borgo San Giuliano (situated near the ancient walls of Rimini)^[1] in 1930s Fascist Italy. The film's title is a univerbation of the Romagnolo phrase a m'arcôrd ("I remember"). The title then became a neologism of the Italian language, with the meaning of 'nostalgic revocation'.^{[citation needed]}

Titta's sentimental education is emblematic of Italy's "lapse of conscience." Fellini skewers Mussolini's ludicrous posturings and those of a Catholic Church that "imprisoned Italians in a perpetual adolescence" by mocking himself and his fellow villagers in comic scenes that underline their incapacity to adopt genuine moral responsibility or outgrow foolish sexual fantasies.

A young woman hanging clothes on a line happily points out the arrival of "manine" or fluffy poplar seeds floating on the wind. The old man pottering beside her replies, "When fluff-balls come, cold winter's done." In the village square, schoolboys jump around trying to pluck puffballs out of the air. Giudizio (Aristide Caporale), the town idiot, looks into the camera and recites a poem to spring and the "manine".

Hungarian Summary: 

Riminiben él Titta, a nagyra nőtt kamasz. Az élet az utcán zajlik, ahol naponta elhalad a város szexbombája, az ügyvéd, a romlott nő, a fagylaltos, a pártvezér, mindenki, aki él és mozog a tengerparti kisvárosban. Titta idegbeteg anyját elviszi a tél, nagyapja egy reggel eltűnik a ködben. Évszakok jönnek-mennek, majd egy éjszaka befut a kikötőbe a Rex ceánjáró. A csillogó csoda egy pillanatig látható, s az élet kavarog tovább...
