New York pastry chef Ennio, tired of being looked down on by other men in uniform, decides to sign up to fight. The army, however, sees his expertise and promptly makes him a cook. Meanwhile Lucia works the family farm in the Liri Valley below Monte Cassino in her father's absence. When her house is bombed accidentally by Allied planes, her family escapes to shelter in the Abbey. After Ennio's training in the Deep South, his company is sent to southern Italy. They move north from Naples toward Rome, until they are stopped short by the Germans at the Gustav Line, of which the Abbey forms a crucial part. Lucia and Ennio are soon personally involved in one of the ugliest battles of WWII.
