Plot Summary
1916, Battle of the Somme. In one of the bloodiest scenarios of the First World War, the young Scotsman James C. Richardson decides to defy the horror to bring a glimmer of hope to his companions through the sound of his bagpipe. During a fierce assault, with his fellow soldiers blocked by enemy fire, Richardson defied all military logic: instead of taking cover or embracing the rifle, he stood up in the open field and began to play his bagpipes. The music, in contrast to the din of the machine guns, revived the fighting spirit of the battalion, proving to be the most powerful weapon. Richardson's legacy is that of a hero who, through his art, instilled life where only death reigned. The short film is based on a true story and lands in Milan after numerous awards won all over the world.
