In 1944, toward the end of the Second World War, a group of women and children were massacred by German soldiers in a small Tuscan village. Seventy years later, the German-Italian theatre project Albicocche rosse [Red Apricots] revisits these brutal events. What do they say about the relationship between Germany and Italy, who were first allies and then enemies in this devastating conflict? What really happened that day in the village of San Gusmè? Beyond the violence and the logic behind the massacre, the film tells the story of daily life in the village under the occupation through the voices of those who live there today. More than 50 actors and musicians from Italy and Germany are involved in this collective project, setting aside their differences. Filmmakers Eduard Erne and Ulrich Waller, both closely involved in the project, document the tragic events of the past century and the process in this theatre of remembrance.

In response to the march of the German army across Europe, thousands of young British men were sent to the front lines to push them back into Germany and it was believed that they would never be able to penetrate the British lines. However this signalled the beginning of the Blitzkrieg, and the German forces invaded Holland and Belgium, pushing into France managing to take everyone by surprise and totally cutting off the BEF (British Expeditionary Force). Made up of a large number of 18 and 19 year olds who had just joined the previous year, the BEF begin a retreat that turned into one of the worst defeats of a British Army in recent history and the massive evacuation at Dunkirk. With war footage, many former soldiers recall their first time abroad, their hopes, their fears at being under fire and the terrible things they experienced in the name of war
