Something I didn't understand *spoilers*


Francesco gets hauled away by the Nazis, Pina runs after the truck he's in and gets shot. Then there's a big shootout. In the next scene, Francesco is calmly sitting in a restaurant with Giorgio.

So, I take it Francesco escaped the truck? Did he even see Pina get shot?

So confused!

Also, why aren't Giorgio and Francesco suspicious of how well Marina is living considering everyone else is barely scraping by and starving?

There's a scene where a resistance group shoots the trucks and frees all the prisoners, and then "END OF FIRST PART" pops up on the screen, followed by "SECOND PART" then that scene in the restaurant takes place

I think Manfredi has a moral problem with how Marina lives but fails to see it as a security risk.
