Army colonel Gabriele Moresco and twelve of his soldiers occupy a hospital in Sicily, Italy, taking every patient and doctor as hostages and giving an ultimatum to the government: if they won't admit their role in hiding proof of the use of depleted uranium in the Balkan Wars and the subsequent countless cases of cancer among Italian soldiers in 56 hours, all the hostages will be killed.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a tense, claustrophobic thriller that relies on the real-world scandal of depleted uranium use and its consequences. It explores the moral collapse of a soldier turned radical and the personal hell of a negotiator with skin in the game.

What lingers after the final frame is a profound unease about institutional betrayal and the human cost of silence. The line between terrorist and martyr becomes dangerously blurred. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Claudio Fragasso
