The winter of 1917, the North-East front, the final clashes of the Great War. An Italian stronghold situated at 1800 metres above sea level, on the Asiago plateau, described in the novels of Mario Rigoni Stern.

A drama that scarred his youth and the rest of his life, just like millions of others.《高原激战》是埃曼诺·奥尔米于2014 年在其它 导演，由Andrea Benetti,Domenico Benetti,Jacopo Crovella等出演,剧中使用其它对白,是一部剧情片电影。
