For a small Italian town in the mountains of Tuscany, 1944 is the year when the war strikes its cruelest blow. In retaliation for the killing of five German soldiers by Italian partisans, fifty of the town's menfolk are cold-bloodedly executed. For Karl Kruger and Anna Miceli, the reprisals mark the end of a passionate love affair, and the start of a lifetime's hatred, guilt, and remorse.
