Set in the First World War, the film tells the story of two enemy soldiers who are full of hope, dreams, desires and love, but also full of fear and sadness. When they suddenly face each other on the battlefield while experiencing hell on earth, the core of being human comes to the surface and we can also see the true meaning of war…

Director Statement
In many films, no matter how visually brutal they may be, the plot is often wrapped up in a heroic story, which unfortunately does not always correspond to the truth. The truth is the suffering that people have to endure day after day in a war. Our aim is to produce a film that is as realistic as possible in its subject matter, that touches people and raises awareness of this important issue.
That’s why I think that because of recent wars and events we have seen world wide we have to set a sign and work for peace and for a Brotherhood of Nations all around the world.
