Full description for How I Lost the War

• Time runs slowly and serenity reigns in a Tuscan village renowned for its thermal baths...until the arrival of Otto Gattai, a greedy and ruthless businessman who has come to this idyllic countryside to revive the legendary baths. The young Federico, descendant of the noble Cremona family is ill at ease with his family's role in the transformation of the antique citadel and of the lives of its inhabitants. Federico and his girlfriend Lea take action. When peaceful protests prove inadequate, a guerrilla war is waged against Gattai and his attempt to monopolise the village's water.
