The Silent Mountain is a 2014 Austrian-Italian-American film drama directed by Ernst Gossner. Shot on location in Tyrol and South Tyrol, the film tells a love story at the beginning of the First World War. Tyrol 1915: At his sister's wedding, there is a spark between 20-year-old South Tyrolean Andreas Gruber and 17-year-old Italian Francesca Calzolar. But the young love doesn't get much time, because the next day Andreas has to go to the front. Italy has declared war on Austria. The First World War overruns Tyrol and transforms the Dolomites into one of the most bizarre theaters of war in history.


The following weapons were used in the film The Silent Mountain:
