War

World War I, Italian north-eastern front after the 1917 bloody battles on the Altipiano. A group of soldiers face the difficulty of war in a story that unfolds in the space of one night. Events follow one after the other without any kind of pattern: the peaceful mountains suddenly become a place where men die. But every story told in this film is a true story.

VIBE

This film feels like a cold, damp trench. It's a stark, unflinching look at the quiet desperation and grim reality of soldiers facing the abyss. Expect a heavy, somber atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll.
