“It follows Richard Cantwell (Schreiber), an American Army Colonel in post-WWII Italy. Haunted by the war, Cantwell is a bona fide hero who faces news of his illness with stoic disregard,” reads the synopsis. “Determined to spend a weekend in quiet solitude, he commandeers a military driver (Hutcherson) to facilitate a visit to his old haunts in Venice. As Cantwell’s plans begin to unravel, a chance encounter with a remarkable young woman (De Angelis) begins to rekindle in him the hope of renewal.”
