- Description:
- Drama film on the fascist colonial mission in Libya, which exploits the thematic pattern, common to propaganda films, of a mediocre character, lacking in patriotic sentiment, who reawakens and becomes aware of his role and his duty. A weak official takes part in an expedition against Libyan rebels, in which his valiant captain is killed; this is the event which triggers his realization and change.
