English Summary:

Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a 2001 war film directed by John Madden. It is based on the novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières. The film pays homage to the thousands of Italian soldiers executed at the Massacre of the Acqui Division by German forces in Cephalonia in September 1943, and to the people of Cephalonia who were killed in the post-war earthquake. The novel's protagonists are portrayed by actors Nicolas Cage and Penélope Cruz.

Greece's Ionian Islands are occupied by the Italian Army when it brings a large garrison along with a few Germans to the tranquil island of Cephalonia, whose inhabitants surrender immediately. Captain Antonio Corelli, an officer of the Italian 33rd Acqui Infantry Division, has a jovial personality and a passion for the mandolin, and trains his battery of men, (who have never fired a shot), to choral sing. Initially he alienates a number of villagers, including Pelagia, the daughter of the village doctor. She is an educated and strong-willed woman. At first offended by the Italian soldier's behaviour, she slowly warms to Corelli's charm, and mandolin playing, as they are forced to share her father's home after the doctor agrees to put him up in exchange for medical supplies.

Hungarian Summary:

Kefalínia időtlenül és elfeledetten magaslik a Jón-tenger szikrázó türkizéből, és lakói fenntartás nélkül imádják ezt a földet. Amikor Antonio Corelli és százada megérkezik a szűz szigetre, ott tartózkodásukat úgy fogják fel, mint afféle görög vakációt, ahol a háború csak egy távoli rádióüzenet. Az igéző szépségű fiatalasszony, Pelagia és a többi falusi eleinte neheztel a váratlan vendégekre, de végül az olaszok kedvessége és életszeretete feloldja az ellentéteket. Pelagia meglátja Corelliben azt az embert, aki valójában benne lakozik, és aki imádja az életet, a zenét, sőt, a lányt is. Ám a háború elkerülhetetlenül betör Kefalínia idilli partjaira, és örökre felbolygatja az itt lakók és a kényelmesen berendezkedett olaszok nyugalmát. A Pelagia és Antonio közt bimbózó gyöngéd viszony veszélybe kerül...
