A group of soldiers come to secure a remote Greek Aegean island and get stranded there as their boat is destroyed. They are quickly accepted by the islanders who are just pleased they are not Germans. By the time of their rescue three years later, they have all grown and taken on different viewpoints of life.
A charming, gentle anti-war movie full of whimsical humour and mild political noises. The Italians make this type of film very well and it carries echoes of Cinema Paradiso, Il Postino, Malena etc. and the scenery will make you fall in love with the island yourself as the cinematography capture’s its different moods with affection.
