Road 47

During the World War II, a small minesweeping and demining team from the Brazilian Expeditionary Force - BEF is in an outpost in Monte Castello. The group is not well prepared for combat and does not speak any foreign language; therefore they have difficulties to communicate with the American Army. Out of the blue, they have a panic attack and scatter on the mountain. Later, the soldiers Guimaraes, Tenente, Piaui e Laurindo meet each other on the base of Monte Castello. They become afraid to go to their base of command and be considered deserters and ace court-martial; and also afraid to die if they return to their post. They stumble with the journalist Rui that tells that the important Road 47 is mined preventing the American force to proceed. They also stumble upon an Italian and a German deserters. They decide to demine the road to justify their retreat from the post.
