Dva mlada britanska vojnika tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata imaju nemoguću misiju: ​​dostaviti poruku, duboko u neprijateljskom teritoriju, koja će zaustaviti njihove ljude i Blakeova brata, koji idu ravno u smrtonosnu zamku.

Godina je 1914. i počeo je najveći rat u dotadašnjoj povijesti čovječanstva. U rat odlazi mladi Škot Jonathan (S. Robertson) sa svojim bratom Williamom (R. Laing), njemački operni pjevač Nikolaus Sprink (B. Fürmann) te francuski poručnik Audebert (G. Canet) čiji je otac (B. Le Coq) general u vojsci. I dok se u kasnu jesen na zapadnoj bojišnici vodi krvavi rovovski rat, a tisuće se ubijenih broje na obje strane, predstojeći će Božić nakratko zaustaviti nasilje.

In November 1918, a few days before the Armistice, when Lieutenant Pradelle orders a senseless attack, he causes a useless disaster; but his outrageous act also binds the lives of two soldiers who have nothing more in common than the battlefield: Édouard saves Albert, although at a high cost. They become companions in misfortune who will attempt to survive in a changing world. Pradelle, in his own way, does the same.

In Belleau Wood, France, during the Great War, a soldier named John writes a letter home to his wife Sara in Milwaukee. He writes that her picture "helps me remember what it was like to be me." He tells her about sorties into No Man's Land, and that they have orders tonight to charge. Then, his letter becomes a report of that charge: toward an armed German soldier who doesn't fire, even when John reaches him and jumps into the trench beside him. What happens next brings silence and an end to the letter.
