- Synopsis
- At the start of WWII, Salvatore Todaro commands the
  Italian Royal Navy submarine Cappellini. One dark night
  in October 1940, while navigating in the Atlantic, he
  comes upon an armed merchant ship sailing without
  lights. He shoots at the ship and sinks it. The Commander
  then makes a decision that was destined to go down
  in history. He takes the 26 shipwrecked Belgians on
  board his already crowded submarine and aims for the
  nearest safe harbor, as prescribed by the law of the sea.
  To make room for them on board his submarine, he is
  forced to navigate on the surface of the water for three
  days, visible to the enemy forces and endangering his
  life and that of his men.
