Paisà is a 1946 Italian film directed by Roberto Rossellini. It is divided into six episodes. They depict the Italian Campaign during World War II when Germany was losing the Second World War against the Allies, using themes such as the difficulty of communication between people who do not speak the same language, and how, at some point of their struggle for a conversation, they manage to understand each other.
