Where to watch
Matteo died in the Greek Campaign. He never came home from a distant hill in Albania, where his remains lie buried.
After the fall of the Berlin Wall his nephew Nicola, a Salesian priest, begins the search at his father’s request: to bring his uncle Matteo home and give him a burial near his family. The search lasts two years, of study and of travel, until on the hill of Bregu-Psarit an elderly woman points to two graves in front of her house.
