Italy, near Cassino. The terrible winter of 1944. A dismal icy rain
falls, unabated, for days. Three American soldiers set out on the
gruelling ascent of a perilous Italian mountainside in the murky
closing days of the Second World War. Haunted by their sergeant's
cold-blooded murder of a young girl, and with only an old man of
uncertain loyalties as their guide, they truge on in a state of
barely suppressed terror and confusion. With snipers lying in wait
for them, the men are confronted by agonizing moral choices... Taut
and propulsive - Peace is a feat of economy, compression, and
imagination, a tough and unmistakably contemporary meditation on
the corrosiveness of violence, the human cost of war, and the
redemptive power of mercy.
