Life is Beautiful (La vita e bella) is a 1997 Italian comedy-drama directed by and starring Roberto Benigni. Benigni’s character is an Italian Jewish father in a family consisting of his wife and small son. In the 1940s they are rounded up and sent to a concentration camp. There the father, in order to hide the reality of their situation from their son and to somehow survive, pretends that their whole experience is a game and that at the end of the game the son, if he succeeds will win a tank.
