Rocklin Colorado, 1925. A hard cold winter. Young Arturo Bandini loves his father Svevo, his mother Maria and his brothers. Even though his bricklayer father wastes the little money he has in the Imperial Poolhall and his time with the rich American widow, Hildegarde. Even though his beautiful and pious mother lets his father get away with that, even if his little brother wets the bed. Arturo loves them all. He also loves to play baseball, even though he has to wait until spring. And he also loves the movies... and Rosa. But she doesn't love him... 　　译文(2): Rocklin Colorado，1925年。一个严寒的冬天。年轻的阿图罗班迪尼爱他的父亲斯维沃，他的母亲玛丽亚和他的兄弟。尽管他的泥瓦匠父亲浪费了他在皇家台球厅的一点钱和他和富有的美国寡妇希尔德加德在一起的时间。即使他美丽而虔诚的母亲让他的父亲逃脱了惩罚，即使他的弟弟尿床了。阿图罗爱他们所有人。他也喜欢打棒球，尽管要等到春天。他也喜欢电影，还有罗莎。但她不爱他。
