A reflective exploration of war trauma through the interwoven memories of a veteran and the poetic legacy of a fallen soldier.
During World War I, British soldier Owen is mortified by the examples of cruelty that surround him in the trenches. He combats these terrifying images by maintaining hope in his love for an army nurse. But he also begins to accept his fate as another battlefield sacrifice.
