‘Beneath A Scarlet Sky’

The story is about a brave young man, Pino Lella who, as an Italian teenager, Pino was risking his life helping the Catholic underground to safely escort Jews out of Italy through the Alps. Against his own wishes, he was convinced by his parents to join the German army for the sake of his own safety. He soon became the driver for the most influential epic tale of one young man’s incredible courage and resilience during one of history’s darkest hours; it is also a beautiful but tragic love story.
