“Our battle has barely begun.”

DramaHistoryWar

During the Nazi occupation of Rome in 1944, the leader of the Resistance is chased by the Nazis as he seeks refuge and a way to escape.

VIBE

This is a raw, unflinching look at the human spirit under the heel of occupation. It feels grim and desperate, yet pulses with defiant courage amidst stark realism. The tension is palpable, a steady thrum of danger and resilience, painting a tragic yet deeply human portrait of survival.
