Captain Corelli's Mandolin - 2001

Every time a Greek fisherman renders to fight the Greek army during WWII, his fiancee falls in love with the neighborhood Italian commander. The movie is based on a novel about a Italian soldier's experiences during the occupation of the Greek island of Cephalonia (Kefalonia), however, Hollywood made it in to a pure love story by eliminating a lot of the"unpleasant" stuff.
