As the First World War drags on, Pierre, a soldier newly arrived at the front, is eager to prove himself. Behind the lines, he meets Francis, who decides to lift the spirits of his comrades by putting together a theatre show. While the violence continues, both men try to find ways to escape the brutality of war, even if only for a moment.
Le jeune soldat Pierre veut faire ses preuves au front pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Derrière les lignes, il rencontre Francis, à qui l’on demande de trouver un moyen de remonter le moral des troupes.
1916. Pierre komt als nieuwe soldaat aan het front, gedreven om zich te bewijzen in de strijd. Achter de linies ontmoet hij Francis, die met geïmproviseerde shows de moraal van de troepen probeert hoog te houden. Terwijl de oorlog onverbiddelijk voortwoedt, proberen ze allebei aan de realiteit te ontsnappen, al is het maar voor even.
