Plot

The film is set in April 1945. The engineer Sergio returns home to a town in Lazio after five years as a prisoner of war. He finds his homeland ravaged. The minefields and hydroelectric power plant were the main sources of employment and they are both destroyed. His old mother and a brother are still there but his wife Adele is working in Rome. Their son has been taken in a fascist raid. When Adele learns the son has died she goes after revenge armed with a gun.[1]

Cast

Critical reception

The film was censored and then rediscovered in 2008. A man called Giancarlo Mancini found a bad Italian copy interspersed with fragments from a French edition in Ripley's Home Video. It has been described as a mediocre melodrama with obvious implausibilities in the plot and unsuited to Neufeld.[1]

gollark: Indeed. There are a few good mobile games, but they're pretty rare.
gollark: I mean, on the plus side, money → lasers → yay, but on the... minus side? it's raid shadow legends.
gollark: > I forgot, has styropyro done a raid shadow legends advert before?Sadly, yes.
gollark: Maybe they're doing something cleverer and using this to cover it.
gollark: With access to lots of Twitter accounts I think you might actually be able to... probably significantly influence world politics.
