Synopsis

A documentary that is not a historical reconstruction of the First World Conflict but brings to mind thoughts, emotions, words of people who have experienced the drama of this war: on the Italian front, in the trenches, and on the territory, waiting that their family members return, safe. Soldiers' voices talk to us, along with their relatives ones, kept alive by a precious epistolary patrimony kept in the Italian Army archives and selected by a long and meticulous research work. An extraordinary cast of actors gives voice to these moving memories: the enthusiasm of the departure, the ardor of patriotism, the surprise of the trench and then the extreme of the forces, the cold, the hunger, the death. Finally, the victory, very different from what they imagined it, in an Italy that was still struggling to feel like a nation and in that victory found more discomfort than pride.
