A never before told story about men who fought as allies during the war.

Northern Italy late 1944. A German Army lieutenant waits for Italian reinforcements. The reinforcements finally arrive, but they are in worse shape than the Germans they are supposed to support. Cooperation between the German and Italian Officer breaks down and the men start to fight amongst themselves. Weary from Allied bombardment and Italian partisans attacking from the woods, the German and Italian Lieutenants have to find a way to work things out, before the enemy does it for them. Filmed on a very low budget this movie proceeds Clint Eastwood's "Letters from Iwo Jima", by looking at the enemy's point of view and showing a war from two sides. See the Allied POV in Ari Taub's other film "The Fallen."

This film took seven years to make and is part of a larger film that got a much wider release entitled "The Fallen". This movie was filmed with an international cast of mostly European actors who were flown to the US and they speak in their native tongue.
The movie involved the mobilization of tanks, heavy armour a lot of weapons, airplanes and many props that took a long time to assemble. The film cost about $250,000 to make and is worth a lot more in blood sweat and tears that went into it. Everyone who was in the film had to come back year after year for five years until the shooting was finished. The movie only was in production while the Director had money in the bank to spend. The movie was better recieved in Europe as American audiences have a harder time to watch movies with subtitles and especially movies that dont have a classic American point of view. Now that Clint Eastwood has come out with "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of our Fathers", this film is getting more attention.
