Description

War drama produced and directed by Ernst Gossner. Set in the Dolomite Mountains in 1915 at the outbreak of war between Italy and Austria, William Moseley stars as Andreas Gruber, a young man preparing to get married to his childhood sweetheart Francesca (Eugenia Costantini). As Andreas is sent off to fight up in the mountains he painfully leaves his love behind giving her a firework to set off if she gets into trouble.

Can the pair's love for each other keep them together or will the carnage of war tear them apart?

As war rages across Europe, the once idyllic Alpines of the Italy-Austria border will become host to one of the most brutal battles the Twentieth Century will see. When he is drafted to fight for his country, young Andreas (William Moseley - The Chronicles of Narnia) is torn from his love, Francesca. With the front line cutting through the mighty Dolomite mountains, neighbours become enemies, families are divided, and lovers are separated. If he is to return to Francesca, Andreas must survive both the bloodiest war the world has ever seen and the extreme perils of the mountain.
