The second instalment in the famous trilogy first tells the tale of young Vito Corleone, to then focus on his son Michael almost 50 years later. Vito’s story tells of his rise through the world of criminality and revenge against those responsible for the death of his family. His son Michael must instead come to terms with his brother’s betrayal, his wife’s abortion, and an organisation at risk of breaking apart.
