At the outbreak of war, two teenage boys – one German and one British – defy their parents to sign up, but their enthusiasm is tested when they get their first taste of battle.
This moving, powerful drama spans the years of the war from 1914 to 1918. As the conflict unfolds, so do the boys’ incredible stories. Thomas and Michael are two young men for whom the war has little mercy, no matter which side they may be fighting for. Over five years, we follow their lives as they grow up, lose friends and find love amid the horrors of the war.
