Synopsis

On the European countryside, World War II is changing the course of civilization forever. In the moment of truth, a politician must choose between political power and human life by diving deep into his suppressed childhood memories of a tribe of Gypsies that lived outside his war torn village. Will this emotional unearthing turn the tide for peace, or further entrench his country in war? Set in a time when people did not envision the extent that industrialization and nationalism would be devestating our planet today, The River of Copsa Mica unfolds important lessons for our future through a window to the past.
