Oct 15, 1940. Nighttime. The Italian Navy submarine Cappellini is navigating the Atlantic Ocean, under the command of Salvatore Todaro, when she comes upon a merchant ship sailing with lights out. After the ship suddenly opens fire on the Cappellini, it is quickly sunk. Disobeying orders from his own Fascist command, Salvatore makes a selfless decision - risking his own life and those of his men, thus going down in history.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Edoardo de Angelis and featuring a striking score by Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja, this tense and exciting anti-war epic eschews sensationalism in order to closely examine the courage of upholding one’s ethics in times of war.
