In a small European town, marked by the scars of the Great War, a group of veterans confronts the ghosts of their past in a desperate attempt to reintegrate into civilian life. Among them is a young idealist named Hans, who, upon returning home, realizes that the life he once knew has changed forever. Nostalgia consumes him as he remembers the glorious days on the front, but he also recalls the horrendous realities of war that have left indelible marks on his mind.
Alongside Hans, a group of battle companions emerges, each dealing with their traumas in different ways. While some find solace in friendship and shared memories, others succumb to despair and a desire for revenge. As tension in the town rises due to growing political instability, Hans faces a difficult choice: to follow the path of hatred or to summon the courage to fight for a future of peace and reconciliation.
Through a raw and emotional narrative, the story explores the challenging transition soldiers face when returning home and the difficulties of building a new life in a world that seems to be constantly in crisis. At its core, it is a powerful reminder of the effects of war on the human soul and the struggle for redemption in times of disillusionment.
