Comandante

Oct 15, 1940. Nighttime. The Italian Royal Navy submarine Cappellini is navigating the Atlantic Ocean, under the command of Salvatore Todaro (Favino), when she comes upon a merchant ship sailing with lights out. After the ship suddenly opens fire on the Cappellini, it is quickly sunk. Disobeying orders from his own Fascist command, Salvatore makes a selfless decision - one that puts his crew at great risk, but which also makes history.
