The Night of the Shooting Stars

As Allied forces approach in 1944, the inhabitants of a small Italian town, once under Axis rule, make a desperate bid for freedom by fleeing their homes in search of liberation.

In Italian folklore, the Night of San Lorenzo is believed to be a magical time when dreams come true. In 1944, a group of Italians abandoned their town after hearing rumors that the Nazis intended to destroy it, anticipating the arrival of American liberators.
