The Man Who Will Come (2009)

In the bitter frost of 1943, nestled in Italy's rural heartland, resides young Martina, a child held captive by her silence since the tragic loss of her baby brother years before. The anticipation of a new sibling infuses her world with a glimmer of hope, a beacon in the bleak winter landscape. As Martina awaits the miracle of birth, another formidable force approaches, its shadow creeping ever closer—the war. The village's tranquil simplicity is shattered as the war's treacherous path unfolds, thrusting its people into a deadly dance between the partisan brigades and the Nazi Army. As the impending birth of Martina's brother coincides with the relentless advance of the SS, a chilling event looms on the horizon. Known to history as the Marzabotto massacre, a horrifying spectacle of death sweeps across houses, cemeteries, and churches, claiming more than 770 innocent souls. The Man Who Will Come paints an intimate portrait of a child's innocence caught in the crossfire of war, a tale of anticipated joy and impending doom interwoven in the harsh tapestry of history.
