Description

Peace on the Western Front by Mattia Signorini explores the heart-wrenching journey of a young boy in 1914 who enrols in the army, seeking peace within the great adventure of war. Yet, upon being handed a rifle, he confronts the grim reality of grey days marked by the ever-present spectre of death. Amidst the horror, he discovers close friendships, love, and companionship.

In an unexpected act of courage, he changes the course of history, uniting Germans and Brits in putting down their weapons for a celebration of peace.

Fast forward to 1933, a father and son trek to Flanders. The former soldier brings more from the war than just his maimed left hand. The British man he met in the forest of Ypres lives on as a memory passed from father to son, a tale of friendship across enemy lines, born from a shared belief in the necessity of peace.
