Armida

About the show

In a modern Middle East conflict, Rinaldo is an army officer torn between his love of peace and military duty, while Armida is a television journalist covering a war in her occupied country. She enters his army camp intending to subvert the soldiers. When she and Rinaldo fall in love, she spirits him away in her helicopter to an enchanted Moorish city. His fellow soldiers try to free him, but he no longer wants to fight. Love prevails: the soldiers take up gardening, and Armida’s news organization stops covering wars and produces gardening programs.
