The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Domenico is thrust into the big city by his family to find a job for life. He's up for an exam to secure a post along with many hopefuls. There he meets Antonietta (played by Olmi's then wife Loredana Detto) and the two strike up a friendship and experience the world of work for the first time together. Stunningly shot on the streets of Milan, Ermanno Olmi's (The Tree of Wooden Clogs) touching and often funny portrait of modern life and work won numerous awards on release and is recognised as a classic of world cinema.

Giovanni works in a manufacturing plant and takes a promotion that will send him to Sicily. His transfer causes him to leave his fiancee, Liliana, his father and friends behind. Once in Sicily he begins to wonder if he made the right choice. Stunningly shot, I fidanazati channels the industrial isolation of Antonioni with a dreamy and heartfelt lyricism.
