Synopsis:

***ATTENTION***Mixed language audio with English subtitles***During World War II, Brazil was an ally of the United States, England and France. At the time there were directed over 25 thousand soldiers from the BEF (Brazilian Expeditionary Force) to fight the enemies, represented by the Axis: Germany, Italy and Japan. Almost all soldiers came from poor backgrounds, and were mostly unprepared for combat, they had to learn in practice to fight for survival. After suffering a collective panic attack at the foot of Castle Hill, the soldiers Guimar?es (Daniel de Oliveira), Tenente (Julio Andrade), Piau (Gaspar Francisco) and Laurindo (Thogum) try to get down the mountain, but end up missing the others. When they were reunited, they had to decide to return to the battalion and are at risk of facing court-martial for dereliction of duty, or return to the position the night before and at risk of facing a surprise attack of the enemy. That's when the journalist Rui (Ivo Canelas), tells about an active minefield and they think this is a chance to redeem the mistake they committed, but much is yet to happen and the war is far from over.

During World War II, looking up the Mountain, in Italy, a Brazilian Expeditionary Force - FEB - mines weeping platoon is hit by a panic-attack that sets them running aimlessly right in the middle of 'no man's land'. Desperate cold and hungry, the ill-prepared soldiers have to choose between facing military court or delve deeper into enemy lines. After a tense discussion, they decide to save their faces with the Brazilian Army by tackling a daring military objective: to disarm the most feared minefield in Italy. On their way there, they end meeting two others deserters; a remorseful Italian soldier trying to join the Partigianos and German officer who is just simply tired of war. with unexpected help of their ex-enemy, the soldiers are set to accomplish a mission that so far had been deemed impossible.

The unusual meeting between three deserters from different nationalities (Brazil, German and Italy) during World War II.
