(1944-italy)
okayy so this movie starts out at a post office. a ww2 veteran works there selling stamps. he is helping this other man. as he looks at him more closely, the man looks awfully familliar. Hector, the ww2 veteran, pulls out a gun and shoots him. The man dies instantly. He then throws his gun down and closes the stamp station.
Turns out, the man he shot was a German he recognized from the war. He had a lot on his mind already and seeing that German just topped it all.
His wife died of a heart failure after being married for 25 years. (i think that happened recently?)
Detectives soon get involved and the press. they find a head statue in his home worth A LOT of money. its a segment misssing from the bridge that the german nazis put to ruins during the war. Hector is questioned. He tells his story...
His story starts off with him taking oders. Theres this lady in the van trying to get into their heads because they are a different race. German soldiers attack. A soldier on the American side radio in and gives the head officer his position. For some dumb reason he doesnt believe the soldier. Doesnt think he could have gotten that far (across the river). So the four soldiers who survived the attck are stranded on the wrong side. Including Hector. behind enemy lines.
they risk their lives for their country everyday, but dont get too much respect.
Train(one of the soldiers) saves this italian boy after the roof caved on him from an explosion. the boy is injured. Train gets attached to the boy real fast. So theyre traveling through Tuscany's mountains and they come across a village. There a family helps the injured boy. But the four soldiers are trapped there because there are Germans all around.
And.....you'll have to watch the rest. cant give away the ending
