The winter of 1917, the North-East front, the final clashes of the Great War. An Italian stronghold situated at 1800 metres above sea level, on the Asiago plateau, described in the novels of Mario Rigoni Stern. It’s snowing everywhere; the Austrian trenches are so close that you can hear the enemy soldiers breathing. 　　A hundred years since the outbreak of World War I, maestro Ermanno Olmi describes with Torneranno i prati his vision of a conflict that cost the lives of 16 million human beings, just as it was brought back to him by the memory of his father, called to arms at 19 years of age, to find himself within the bloodbath of Carso and Piave. A drama that scarred his youth and the rest of his life, just like millions of others.

这部影片由意大利导演Ermanno Olmi执导，是一出“经验 Vs. 天真”的故事。老夫人是人们对一位居住在一座摇摇欲坠的宅邸内的神秘老太太的称呼。六个学徒厨师被召进这座古堡，充任侍者，协助古堡内的一场盛大晚宴。2007年在北京上海两地的“影像中的意大利”电影展中首映。
