RETURN THE MEADOWS

In a high-altitude outpost, near the end of World War I, a group of military fights a few meters away from the Austrian trenches, "so close that we seem to hear their breath". Around, only snow and silence. Inside, the cold, fear, exhaustion, resignation. And foolish orders coming from some faraway desk, warm. Telephoned orders that send soldiers to get shot like thrushes.

"they will return the lawns" written all lowercase as befits a minimal story and morals, is a movie that makes us feel the roar of mortars in the distance, the gnawing of drill that tunnels under enemy trenches, the Frost and the monotony of the days marked by CHOW and mail delivery, only occasion on which the names of the soldiers are pronounced , recognizing them as beings humans rather than as mere numbers.
