## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A poetic Italian chases love through a war zone while dressed like he raided a dorm room for pajamas. Off he goes to Iraq to rescue a poet in peril, dodging bombs with the grace of a man who definitely packed the wrong luggage. It’s less a battlefield drama and more a rom-com that forgot to check its metaphorical weaponry.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, playful, tender
