Salvo D'Acquisto

A young Italian carabiniere faces an impossible moral dilemma in a small coastal town during wartime. When a devastating explosion traps civilians and troops alike, he volunteers to stay with the wreckage, protecting others at great personal risk. As the town frets and the aftermath unfolds, his quiet resolve puts him at the center of a tense conflict between duty, courage, and compassion. With scarce resources and growing pressure from occupying forces, those nearby must decide how to honor sacrifice while navigating fear, loyalty, and the fragile line between obedience and humanity. A poignant meditation on selflessness under fire.
