Life Is Beautiful (La vita è bella) Scene 27 Summary

  • Guido prepares the tables for dinner when he sees some German kids playing hide-and-seek.
  • He goes and gets Joshua—who's crazy bored hiding all day—and brings him to the yard. He shows him a young man hiding in a…box thingy.
  • Guido lies that they're the other children in the game, the runners-up. Joshua's in first place.
  • A woman guard rounds up the children. She spies Joshua and, mistaking him for a German child, rounds him up too.
  • Guido makes him promise to not say a word (as part of the game).
