Against all odds, a German soldier in WWI survives the First Battle of the Marne and walks through the ravaged landscape in search of safety. Wounded, dehydrated, and totally exhausted, he comes to a French farmhouse. The owner of the farm welcomes him with the business end of a shotgun. Will the residents of a country which he helped invade learn to trust their enemy, or will his body be added to the pile?
