Marching in Darkness (Italian: Marciando nel buio) is a 1995 drama film co-written and directed by Massimo Spano. It premiered at the 52nd Venice International Film Festival. The recruit Saro Franzese befriends the sergeant of his squad, Gianni Tricarico, who becomes infatuated with him. Saro doesn't understand Gianni's advances, however the two start spending time together. After a night at a dance club, a frustrated Gianni drives Saro to a road frequented by transsexual sex workers, reveals he works there himself, and the two argue. Saro leaves accepting a ride from a stranger. After the driver unsuccessfully tries to buy sex from Saro, an hidden passenger emerges from the backseat to subdue and rape Saro. This passenger is Captain Silvio Roatta, commander of Saro's own battalion. Roatta is powerful, respected both in the military and in the local community, and is engaged with the mayor's daughter. The attackers ditch a wounded Saro on a sidewalk.
