  Aureliano, an unemployed 28-year-old anarchist and anti-war activist, receives a job offer to go to Iraq as an assistant to director Stefano Rolla for the preparation of a film about the Italian military ”peace mission”. Despite his friends’ criticism, including his girlfriend Claudia, and his family’s preoccupation, Aureliano leaves. He then finds himself in the heart of the military world—a world he doesn’t approve.  But he discovers in those he meets a sense of humanity,  and a brotherhood to which he, too, belongs.  Stefano Rolla does not return. Aureliano, gravely wounded, is the only civilian who survives an attack.  Based on the book “Twenty Cigarettes in Nassiriya" by Aureliano Amadei and Francesco Trento.
