Along the way, they encounter a young Italian boy who has been traumatized by the war.
The soldiers eventually arrive in the village of Colognora, where they receive orders to capture a German soldier for interrogation. In the village, they become entangled in a web of secrets and alliances involving a beautiful woman, partisans, a traitor, and a local legend. As the story unfolds, we also learn about a recent massacre that deeply affects the lives of the villagers.
