MEDITERRANEO
At the outbreak of the Second World War, eight Italian soldiers are posted to an island in the Aegean to defend it for the Fascists. Their battleship is destroyed and they find themselves effectively cut off from the war and from Italy. Gradually the soldiers find themselves becoming drawn in to the Greek way of life.
