Set in the summer of 1940, this film tells the story of an Italian army medical unit stationed in Sorman, a remote oasis in the Libyan desert. Through an ironic and moving lens, director Mario Monicelli explores the madness of war and the lives of soldiers left to their own devices in a foreign land. Loosely based on Mario Tobino's novel 'Il deserto della Libia', the film is noted for its excellent cast and its ability to blend drama with comedy, offering a profound reflection on the conflict from a human and critical perspective.
