ComedyWar

A by-the-book Captain is ordered to capture a strategic village in Italy. The Italian soldiers are willing to surrender, if they can have a festival first. The lieutenant convinces the Captain this is the only way. Because of aerial reconnaissance, they must look like they are fighting. To sort this out an intelligence officer is sent in. Meanwhile the festival gets complicated with the Mayors daughter.

VIBE

A charmingly absurd romp through WWII Italy. Expect witty banter and a lighthearted take on conflict, where diplomacy is as important as strategy. It’s a feel-good caper that prioritizes laughs over bullets.
