In a small village in Italy during World War I, two men from different backgrounds and positions find themselves caught up in a tragicomic entanglement. Giovanni, a peasant passionate about the simple life, and the aristocratic and somewhat snobbish Don Carlo, are forced to join forces to survive amidst the chaos of war. When the war is declared, their social and cultural differences are put aside, and they become an unconventional team in their struggle for survival.
As the war escalates, the two men face all sorts of absurd and comedic situations. From encounters with incompetent soldiers to traversing a battlefield filled with unexpected dangers, their journey is packed with slapstick humor and a good dose of social critique. Throughout this odyssey, Giovanni and Don Carlo learn valuable lessons about friendship, solidarity, and the true nature of war, which is not always glamorous.
Despite the adverse circumstances and class differences that separate them, these two characters manage to forge a unique bond. With a comedic style that blends satire and drama, the film weaves emotional moments with laughter, inviting the audience to reflect on the madness of war while entertaining them with unexpected situations and clever dialogues. A movie that, beyond its fresh and genuine humor, delivers a significant blow to the heart.
