Sir, if we run down now,

we'll be back by the morning.

You want to be court martial-ed?

We are at war!

Get used to it.

Good night.

The Italians will try

to get up here.

If so, they will try to come

over the east or the south face.

Before we enforce our position

on the plateau,

we have to secure

the south face.

Nonsense.

You can't see this on the map,

but the south face is steep.

No one can make it up there.

You can see a lot

of things on a map

if you read it correctly.

Are you saying

that I can't read maps?

I'm saying that one battalion

is heading

to the south face today!

The teacher, ugh.

What an idiot.

It's coming from over there.

By those rocks.

To the right.

There.

Ibex.

Don't shoot.

Alpini.

Shh.

Come on, Ander,

this is ridiculous.

It's coming from down there.

It's a 100-meter drop.

No one can climb up here,

not even ibex.

Alpini.

Those bastards.

I'll get my men.

Don't.

There's only the three of us.

One is enough.

Fire!

Shoot them, shoot!

Shoot it!

The Italian soldier returned.

He kept running,

and nothing would stop him.

But now, I just couldn't

pull the trigger

as he ran across

the battlefield.

All I could do was wonder why

the wolch carried

this teakettle.

Excusi.

Hey, stop it.

It won't get me out of here.

Apple pie, I made it.

Stop talking,

someone could hear you!

Sorry. Stop!

Pronunciation's really good.

Get back... back in the kitchen.

Come on.

What do you have here?

Looks good.

That's an apple?

Mm-hmm. Yeah?

We will see

if he has temperature.

Lisl!

Go... what are you doing here?

What happened?

Ah, just a little alpini attack.

Who is she?

A kitchen head from Hungary.

How's my father? And Ander?

Here's a letter from him.

Your father doing

all right... Ander too.

And I have orders

to stay down here.

Mother!

Don't waste ammo!

Shoot straight, lads!

Lechner! Keep your tongue in!

Lechner! Come on!

Lechner, can you hear me?

Damn it, Lechner.

Open your eyes, open your eyes!

Lechner, come on, boy.

Stop it, he's gone.

Francesca.

What happened to you?

Your mother

and your sister found me,

and have been helping me.

I thought you wouldn't

recognize me.

You speak so well.

You are a hero.

Everyone says that.

You saved your father's life.

How long have I been here?

Only...

11... 11 days.

Look.

I love you.

I love you too.

Ander?

You feeling better?

You see, I told you.

Your time will come.

Everyone is talking about

how many wolch

you killed out there.

They say you shot one

right in the face.

A real hero.

A present for you.

You have to rest so you can

return to the front soon.

Hm.

Beautiful folk songs.

Come back after the war,

and I'll show you a couple
