The winter of 1917 saw the North-East front embroiled in the final conflicts of the Great War. An Italian stronghold, perched at 1800 metres above sea level on the Asiago plateau - a setting vividly depicted in the novels of Mario Rigoni Stern. The landscape is blanketed in snow, muffling the sounds of war. The proximity of the Austrian trenches is such that one can almost hear the breath of the enemy soldiers. A century on from the onset of World War I, maestro Ermanno Olmi paints a haunting picture of the brutal realities of conflict.影评：这部作品通过独特的视角深刻地描绘了一战末期的悲壮场景。雪花纷飞间，意大利坚守在亚西亚战场上，与奥地利的敌人展开惨烈的对抗。临近山顶的高度，加剧了战场的残酷与孤寂，使整个故事充满了紧张与压抑。Ermanno Olmi以其独特的视角，将战争的残酷现实展现得淋漓尽致，令观众不禁为历史中的牺牲者默哀。
