In a world on fire, all they had was each other

In the perilous backdrop of World War II, a family embarks on a harrowing journey to find each other amidst the chaos of an Allied onslaught on a Nazi-seized Abbey.

Set against the backdrop of the tumultuous events in Italy from 1943-1944, the war drama "Monte Cassino" unveils the harrowing tale of the privileged Nucci family, torn apart amidst the chaos of the Allied invasion during World War II. When German attitudes towards Italians take a chilling turn following Mussolini's arrest, the Nuccis' desperate attempt to escape leads to their scattering and an agonizing quest to reunite under their war-torn home. As the Nuccis journey through the horrors of war to find each other, they endure transformations that leave them irrevocably changed, confronting the bitter reality that their once unified family may never be the same again.
