Woman with paper flowers. By: Donato Carrizi
Mount Fumo, in the Italian Alps, which turned into an ice cathedral, became the theatre of a decisive battle in the cold spring of 1916, but the echo of the fighting does not penetrate into the cave where two intriguing people sit against each other. They smoke and are silent. One is a prisoner who will be shot at dawn if he does not give his name and rank. The other is a military doctor who only has this night to convince the prisoner to speak. The doctor still does not know that the story of the prisoner will forever change his own destiny, because the lives of these people, who should be enemies, are, in fact, connected.
