What happens
Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a 2001 war film directed by John Madden. It is based on the 1994 novel Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières. The film pays homage to the thousands of Italian soldiers executed at the Massacre of the Acqui Division by German forces in Cephalonia in September 1943, and to the people of Cephalonia who were killed in the 1953 Ionian earthquake. The novel's protagonists are portrayed by actors Nicolas Cage and Penélope Cruz. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
