Many Wars Ago

They fought by the rule book... and died by the thousands!

A bleak WWI drama about the futility of repeated, senseless orders that grind soldiers into casualties, centered on an officer's moral awakening amid institutional indifference.

Time after time, soldiers of the Italian Army are forced to leave their mountain trenches in attempts to storm an enemy fortress, always with the same disastrous results. As casualties mount, indignation spreads among the rank and file. Disturbed by his superiors' decisions, Lieutenant Sassu is led to question the purpose of war and reconsider where his real duties lie.
