During the course of a war, an immigrant patriarch, Mr. Pomeroy, faces the anguish of having raised four children in an environment that blends family tradition with the American dream. Each of his children reflects a distinct facet of their heritage and aspirations in life. One son is drawn to idealism and social justice, another is a dreamer seeking fortune in Hollywood, the third dreams of following in his father's footsteps in the family business, while the youngest, a rebel, seeks to break free from expectations.
With the outbreak of World War I, the brothers are forced to make difficult decisions that will change the course of their lives forever. The film delves into family tensions, sacrifices, and each individual's internal struggle to find their path. As the brothers are swept into the conflict, the story reveals the moral dilemmas they face on the front lines and at home, questioning loyalty, honor, and what it truly means to be a man. Through moments of sadness, laughter, and reflection, the Pomeroy family becomes a symbol of the many families that experienced the impact of war, reminding us that despite disagreements, love and unity can prevail.
