The latest from Spike Lee is an adaptation of James McBride’s book itself inspired by events in Italy during WWII. A murder and the discovery of a priceless artifact lead to a tale forty-years before involving four African-American soldiers in a Tuscan village and a disturbed child, the lone witness to a monstrous act.
Aside from the beginning scenes and the epilogue the majority of the film takes place in 1944 where four members of 92nd Infantry Division (Derek Luke, Michael Ealy, Laz Alonso, Omar Benson Miller) find themselves cut-off from their unit and trapped in a small Italian town in the Tuscan countryside surrounded by German troops.
The film is about secrets which are slowly unveiled to the audience, though not necessarily the characters, over the course of the movie.
