LA LUNGA NOTTE DEL '43
synopsis
In the midst of World War II, the story of the affair of a young woman married to a man bound to a wheelchair, with a deserter from the Italian army, intertwines with that of the power grab of a fanatical local fascist leader who gets the hold with a massacre of Pacific opposition, among them the young deserter's father. Oppressive fog covers both dramas as a reminder of how values such as courage, love, and truth are fading.
