Tre epoche che si intrecciano in una lettera, le storie di due generazioni, che viaggiano avanti e indietro negli anni, collegate dal cuore. Tano, soldato del Sud, incontra Antonio, soldato del Nord, nella trincea di Bezzecca, in Trentino, durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale. Tano suona l’organetto nei momenti di lunga attesa sul fronte.
