Based on prize-winning novelist Georges Conchon's story, this film examines the attitude to the first world war of a young Frenchman and three acquaintances.
Jacques Perrin-viewers will remember his World Cinema performance as the younger brother in The Girl with a Suitcase-plays Antonin, a soldier who is wounded at the Front in 1917.
