Thou Shalt Not Hate

Thou Shalt Not Hate (Non odiare, 2020) is an Italian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Simone Segre, a respected surgeon and the son of a Holocaust survivor, is the only person at the scene who can save a stranger bleeding out after a hit-and-run.

Then he sees the swastika tattooed across the man's chest. Simone steps back and walks away, leaving him to die. The choice won't let go of him. He seeks out the dead man's family and quietly threads his way into their lives — Marica, the eldest, holding her younger brothers together; Marcello, a teenager already poisoned by his father's hate; and little Paolo. The closer Simone gets, the more tangled he becomes in guilt and what it might cost.

Alessandro Gassmann plays it almost wordlessly, in glances and the things his character can't bring himself to say. Director Mauro Mancini, in his feature debut, refuses both verdicts and comfort, circling one hard question: how do you keep hatred from passing down the line? A spare, uncompromising film for anyone who likes a European drama built on a moral knot with no clean answer. Stream Thou Shalt Not Hate (2020) online on iFILM.
