''Three Brothers'' is a 1981 film from UsefulNotes/{{Italy}}, directed and co-written by Francesco Rosi.
The Giuranna family comes from southern Italy. The family matriarch passes away. Donato, her husband, sends telegrams to his three sons summoning them back home to the funeral. Each son is in turn having a moment of personal crisis. The three sons are:
* Raffaele, the oldest, a judge, who is about to preside over a terrorism trial. The terrorists, left-wingers, have been sending death threats to both Raffaele and his wife and son.
* Rocco, who is an administrator at a home for troubled youth. Rocco is having to deal with the police, who are blaming the children in his facility for a series of burglaries.
* Nicola, the youngest--20 years younger than Raffaele, in fact--is bound up in a strike at the factory where he works. Worse, he and his wife have separated after she cheated on him.
Also arriving at the family farm is Nicola's little daughter, Marta, who bonds with her grandfather.

!!Tropes:
* AmericaWonWorldWarII: It could have been British tanks. Or even Polish! But nope, there's a white star on the side.
* DownOnTheFarm: While all three sons have left for the city, the father still lives on their ancestral farm. One dilemma is whether he'll be able to stay there.
* {{Flashback}}: Rocco, when looking at his mother's body lying on the bed, remembers her hugging him as they took shelter in a barn, right before [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII American tanks]] rolled in.
