THE TRUCE (LA TREGUA)

by Francesco Rosi

«THE TRUCE» describes the ordeals of a group of people who have managed to escape alive from the Nazis. It is exciting, dramatic and tragi-comic all at the same time. Based on a novel by Primo Levi, the film is full of the optimistic will to survive. A gripping film with a warning.
