Overview

Italy, 1943. When an American soldier of Italian descent witnesses an air raid that kills a young family, he defies orders to save the two children left alive. Hunted for desertion, Private Tony Bellini hides in the hills and is rescued by Alessandra Russo, a nurse who once served Italy's fallen army. Together they protect the children in her family's orchard, a fragile sanctuary surrounded by German patrols, collaborators, and partisans. As love grows between them, Tony must choose between duty and the new family he's built. From the beaches of Salerno to the mountains near Cassino, Orchard of Silence is a story of courage, compassion, and the power of love to endure when the guns finally fall silent.
