The Tiger and the Snow' is about a Roman poet and
lecturer named Attilio (Benigni) who feels
compelled to head to Baghdad when he discovers
that the woman he loves, Vittoria (Nicoletta
Braschi) has been seriously injured during a bomb
explosion. Moving heaven and earth, he manages to
get to Iraq, and through a combination of luck and
pig-headedness, and inspired by his passionate
love of Vittoria, he finds the hospital where
Vittoria has been taken. Unconscious, and more
dead than alive, the woman of his dreams is in
need of a drug that will relieve the pressure of
the cerebral enema that is killing her. Given that
there is nothing immediately available, Attilio
goes off into the city in search of the drug - to
find only abandoned pharmacies and ruins. Refusing
to abandon hope, Attilio must confront the horrors
and disasters of war to save the love of his
life.
