The film reflects on Ivan’s emotional journey on his return to Tuscany, visiting former battle sites and meeting people he helped liberate. Ivan moves physically and spiritually in search of his own peace and justice for the over 1,000 Buffalo Soldiers who suffered casualties that were never reported or honoured.

As you can hear in the interview with Ivan recorded in between filming last week at the Villa Orsini just outside Lucca which he and his company took back from the German forces all those years ago , the warm welcome Ivan received in Barga when he visited last year was well beyond his expectations and was one of the deciding factors in returning this year with the film crew.
