(2024, Italy, 103')
In 1918, at a field hospital near the front lines, Stefano and Giulio work together, bound by fate but divided by opposing views on politics and the duty of a soldier. Their relationship is further complicated by their shared love for Anna, a nurse who supports them through days of pain, sacrifice, and violence. The arrival of the devastating Spanish flu epidemic will upset their already fragile balance.
