Storyline
Plot Summary |
War seen through the eyes of Serra, a university student from Palermo who volunteers in 1942 to fight in Africa. He is assigned to the Pavia Division on the southern line in Egypt. Rommel and the Axis forces are bogged down; it's October, the British prepare an offensive. At first, boredom, heat, hunger, and thirst bedevil the Italians; then the Brits attack, and there's no luck or heroism in death. Finally, it's retreat in confusion. Serra, his sergeant Rizzo, and his lieutenant Fiori take a last walk toward home. It's said that each soldier gets three miracles; when Serra's are used up, what then?

Did You Know?
Trivia | The soldiers frequently refer to being shelled by "English 88s". Although the German 88mm gun is famous, this is not an error. The British 25-pounder field gun fired an 88mm calibre shell, and the Italians would of course follow their practice of referring to calibre rather than the British practice of referring to the weight of the shell.

Goofs | The car wreck where the sniper was hiding is clearly a post WWII Land Rover (a series-II or III build after 1958) See more » |
