Plot
These are the years of the First World War and Dr. Stefano Zorzi spends his days in the Exemption Clinic in a large city of Northern Italy, where he not only takes care of soldiers who arrive from the massacre of the front, but also he fights simulation and self-harm of those who hope to be dispensed, by sending them before the Military Court.
Sinekatalog’s take
A doctor at a military exemption clinic sorts the truly wounded from those faking or harming themselves to avoid the front. A sober, morally tense First World War drama that looks at conscience behind the lines.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
