A documentary film of the First World War set in the mountains where the conflict revealed the whole onslaught of its modem and archaic contradiction. The film is based on material that, thanks to careful research work lasting two years, was studied and disjointed frame by frame and then reconstructed, filmed and toned. The research involved the most important cinema archives in the world:

Rome, Vienna, Paris, London, Budapest, Belgrade, Prague, Coblenza and New Jersey, in order to make a critical comparison of the ItaIian and Austrian "white war". The images speak for themselves, wonderful and terrible, anti-rhetorical and observed in minimum detail, where the landscape and the soldier, his things, his weapons and animals are reduced to their more realistic dimension: fatigue, suffering, poor and cruel heroism.

It is a film that makes you think about war and the way the cinema of the time recorded it. The title is taken from the first verse of Goethe’s "Wander Nachtlied II" (Nocturnal Song of the Traveller II), one of the most famous and beautiful "lieds" of which some notes inspire the music of the film.

 

The film is now available in VHS (CATALOGUE)
