Synopsis

Amid the turmoil of WWII Italy, a cunning con man is thrust into a perilous gamble when the Gestapo forces him to assume the identity of a fallen partisan commander. Haunted by the weight of his deception, he must navigate the shadows of a brutal prison camp, where every whispered secret could mean life or death.

As he infiltrates the ranks of imprisoned resistance fighters, the line between impostor and hero blurs, and the stakes rise with each passing moment. In a world gripped by fear and betrayal, his survival depends not just on wit, but on the courage to face the impossible.
