We are in the United States in 1947. World War II has ended. Stingo, a young man from Virginia, an aspiring writer, has left his Marine uniform and his father's farm to seek his fortune in New York. He settled in Brooklyn in a bizarre house, painted pink. His quiet and fervent life as a writer is disturbed by the often stormy relationships of a couple who live upstairs, made up of Sophie Zanistowski, a beautiful Polish woman who immigrated after suffering the terrible experience of the Auschwitz extermination camp, and Nathan Landau, a Jewish intellectual, brilliant, refined, but with disconcerting mood swings, obsessed with the Nazi holocaust that exterminated six million Jews. A deep friendship is born between the three. Academy Award for Best Leading Actress to Meryl Streep. FREE ENTRY MORE INFO
