In 1944 in Tuscany, a group of boxers facing the disasters of the Second World War, during the intrusive presence of the Germans and the Americans, organizes rigged matches to make some money and travel from town to town, hoping to participate in local fairs. A young black American soldier, believed missing, and a girl who refused to marry accompany the ramshackle group.

VIBE

This film feels like a worn photograph, capturing the resilience of the human spirit amidst the chaos of war. It's a quiet, character-focused journey about finding connection and purpose when everything else is falling apart.
